Katie Taylor, 17-0, has walked through the lightweight division and is arguably the best female boxer in the sport’s history. But she might have something more to prove, especially when the roster is blooming with emerging talents.

Natasha Jonas, the super featherweight title contender, also appears to relish her prime at this point. The 36-year-old was on a three-fight win streak before facing her first draw against Terri Harper last August.

Despite failing to bag the win, she showcased her ability in going to the distance and unleashed one of the best fights of her career. As she will move up a weight class, she will face an even bigger challenge in Taylor.

If she can put her 3” height advantage to use, Harper might have a crack at the invincible champion, but a mere on paper advantage may not perturb ‘The Bray Bomber’. That said, fight fans can gear up for an intriguing fight ahead.

The unified lightweight championship fight will be held on May 1 at a yet-to-be-announced venue, but their rivalry goes back a long time. Before turning pro, both women met each other at the quarter-finals of the London Olympics in 2012.

Katie Taylor vanquished Natasha Jonas in the fight to advance herself in the competition. Meanwhile, after almost a decade, Jonas will finally have her chance to avenge the loss and become the new unified lightweight champion.

Do you think Natasha Jonas will be able to pull off the upset against Katie Taylor?
