It's a triple-header of women's world championship boxing.

Irish star Taylor defends her undisputed world lightweight titles against Miriam Gutierrez, while WBC and IBO super-featherweight champion Terri Harper faces the challenge of Katharina Thanderz in chief support and Rachel Ball battles Ebanie Bridges for the vacant WBA bantamweight strap on the first boxing card to ever be topped by a 1-2-3 of women's world championship action.

"I'm delighted to be headlining another fight night on Sky Sports," said Taylor. "When I turned professional, it was a bit of a step into the unknown in terms of how it all would go so to have these opportunities to headline cards is something I never take for granted.

"It's been a pretty quick turnaround from my last fight but I'm always looking towards the next challenge and I really wanted to fight again before the end of the year. The pandemic has obviously made it a very uncertain time in terms of scheduling fights so I'm really excited to have a date to focus on."

Gutierrez is Taylor's mandatory challenger after the champ won her rematch against Delfine Persoon in August.

"I am very happy, eager and excited. I am preparing myself 100 per cent for this fight with Katie. This is the great challenge that I have pursued in my sports career, to be able to fight for the undisputed crown."

Another eye-catching women's fight during the month-long Matchroom Fight Camp in August was Harper's exciting draw against Natasha Jonas. Thanderz is her next challenge.

"This is the most excited I've been for a fight, I feel like I've got a lot to prove," said Harper. "We've had the opportunity in this camp to work on lots of new things, having a strength and conditioning coach join the team. I want to go out and put the wrongs right."

"It's an amazing feeling to know that I'm finally fighting for the world title," said Thanderz.

"I've been waiting such a long time for this moment, and I just know I'll give my everything to win the title. Harper is a young and talented fighter.

"I think she's a very hard-working girl. She's fast, she has a good technique, she has stamina, and she's a very good fighter. It will a pleasure to share the ring with her."

Another Fight Camp participant, Ball secured a WBA title shot against undefeated Australian Bridges with her surprise star-making win over Shannon Courtenay on the third week of backyard action at Mascalls.

"After my last fight, I'm hungrier than ever, training harder than ever and asking myself everyday how I can improve," said Ball. "I couldn't be more excited for this fight. We're friends but this fight isn't going to be pretty, it's business."

Promoter Eddie Hearn is excited to deliver such a momentous night in what has been a huge year for women's boxing.

"This a historic moment," said Hearn. "A huge night of boxing that will be headlined by not one but three women's world title fights."

SkySportsArenaHD 7PM - 11PM.


Katie is Tough
but so is that Spanish lady.

...to fully tribute this ‘triple’ historic occasion and keeping the vibe...may all of your drinks be triple ones as well...

Yeah she is, Katie just needs to not get drawn into a brawl because I think she can out box anyone. She needs to be careful because Miriam has knock out power

i shall feel pious drinking my pear and apple diluting juice on sat knowing you are awash with the devils brew

:hmph:

Katie would have been advised
to stop any knock out punches.


I wish her Luck

Same .... I don’t like the idea of it in the first place .. just doesn’t seem natural .

Plus it’s the more masculine women who are successful.. not appealing on any level.

If it was a feast of great technical boxing like Loma v Sugar Ray Leonard I may find it more interesting but the ones I’ve seen just look and move around like blokes with really nice hair:)

Just watching Docherty v Cullen now ..

The ref is useless... he’s let Docherty hold on all the way through and then he hits off the break every time
