WBC Press

Undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor of Ireland will defend her world titles against Jennifer Han from the United States, at Emerald Headingly Stadium in Leeds, the UK on September 4.

Taylor will put her undefeated professional record of 18 wins and no losses to the test against the former American amateur champion.

Han, a former world featherweight champion, has 18 wins, three losses, and a draw.

Taylor’s last fight was a tough test against English star Natasha Jonas, who the Bray star won by unanimous decision.

Local hero Josh Warrington will headline the event when he faces Mexico’s Mauricio Lara, who stunned the Leeds native, by knocking him out in February.

The fight, which is promoted by Matchroom Boxing, will be broadcast on DAZN.
