Katie Taylor to fight unbeaten Argentinian next month

Undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor will return to the ring next month when she takes on undefeated Argentinian Karen Elizabeth Carabajal at Wembley Arena.

The 29 October bout will be the Bray boxer's first fight since her record-breaking win over Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden in April.

There were talks of a rematch, with Croke Park mentioned as a potential homecoming venue, but these came to nothing and Taylor will now take on Carabajal (19-0, 2 KOs).

The 32-year-old from Buenos Aires will be fighting outside Argentina for the first time as she and Taylor headline a card at the north London venue.

Taylor (21-0, 6 KOs) has held the IBF, WBO, WBA and WBC lightweight belts since defeating Delfine Persoon in June 2019. Next month's fight will be her seventh defence of the belts.
