Katie Taylor Faces Dilemma as World Title Could Be Stripped


Katie Taylor Faces Dilemma as World Title Could Be Stripped

Undisputed Champion

Katie Taylor recently achieved the remarkable feat of becoming a two-weight undisputed champion, but her reign could be short-lived.

Dilemma with the WBO

The World Boxing Organization (WBO) has strict rules that only allow champions to hold one title in a single division at a time.

Katie Taylor must choose between her 135lb or 140lb straps.

Timeframe to Decide

The WBO has given Taylor up to 10 days to determine which weight division she will retain.

She must choose between the Lightweight or Jr. Welterweight division.

Past Dilemma

This is not the first time Taylor has faced this dilemma. In 2019, she vacated the 140lb title after beating Christina Linardatou.

Next Fights

Promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that Taylor's two likely next fights are a trilogy with Chantelle Cameron or a rematch with Amanda Serrano.

Preference for Titles

If Taylor chooses to rematch Serrano, she would likely opt to keep her 135lb WBO title.

However, with the possibility of a trilogy with Cameron at Ireland's 82,000-seater Croke Park, Taylor may consider keeping the 140lb version.
