Katie Taylor puts all of her unified titles on the line this December

“I’m looking forward to finishing the year on a high.”

Katie Taylor is back this December in Liverpool, and is chomping at the bit to pick up where she left off.

The Bray brawler will be co-headlining at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool alongside exciting welterweight Conor Benn and although her opponent is yet to be named, all of her belts will be on the line.

After cruising to another successful defence against the USA’s Jennifer Han in Leeds back in September, the 35-year-old will put her WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO and Ring Magazine crowns one the line once again.

“I had less than a week at home after my last fight and then it was back to the US to start training again because I wanted to get another fight as soon as possible,” said Taylor.

“I’m looking forward to finishing the year on a high in Liverpool with a big performance and another successful defence of my titles.”

Benn maintained his perfect record with a shutout points win over Mexico’s Adrian Granados on the same bill as Taylor after he was given a deafening welcome by over 20,000 Leeds fans.

“I’m so excited to fight in Liverpool again after fighting at the arena back in 2018,” he said.

“I was in Liverpool earlier this month for the Liam Smith vs Anthony Fowler show and the atmosphere was absolutely incredible. I’m expecting another banged out crowd and top atmosphere.”
