Katie Taylor headlines a historic triple-header of women's world title fights on Nov. 14, live on Sky Sports in the U.K. and Ireland, and DAZN in all nine DAZN regions including the U.S



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."
