The Irish powerhouse and the unified lightweight champion, Katie Taylor, is ready to defend her titles when she enters the ring against Miriam Gutierrez on November 14. Coming off strong from her recent win against Delfine Persoon in August, ‘The Bray Bomber’ is at the peak of her career at this point.
That said, her upcoming opponent might not be an easy contender to deal with. Similar to Taylor, she hasn’t tasted defeat yet. Thus, someone’s clean record is going to fall when Taylor and Gutierrez lock horns. However, Katie Taylor is still the favorite in the contest. Considering her title reign and constant dominance, Taylor is leading the odds.
