Katie Taylor's victory over Amanda Serrano may force her to relinquish one of her WBC world titles. The Irish boxer currently holds belts at both lightweight and super-lightweight, but hasn't fought at 135lbs in over two years. Caroline Dubois, the WBC's interim lightweight champion, is pushing for a shot at Taylor's title. A decision is expected next month at the WBC's convention.
Katie Taylor is likely to have to relinquish one of her WBC world title belts in the coming weeks following her victory over Amanda Serrano . Taylor currently holds WBC titles at both lightweight and super-lightweight, but hasn't fought at 135lbs since defeating Argentina's Karen Elizabeth Carabajal at the Wembley Arena over two years ago. Caroline Dubois is the WBC 's interim champion at lightweight and has been campaigning for a chance to become the full champion.
A decision is expected to be made at the WBC's convention next month. 'It has been quite a long time since she defended the lightweight,' WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman told Sky Sports. 'Caroline Dubois got an Interim championship so she can make money, she can be a champion and look in the near future for something. 'Hopefully there will be a resolution. We're going to let Katie Taylor take a very well deserved rest for a week then we're going to contact them and see exactly what the plans are.' Meanwhile, Taylor's promoter Eddie Hearn says Taylor still has a wish list to complete before retiring, with a fight at Croke Park at the top. 'How much have we talked about it over the years and, like if there was ever a time...I've actually said this before, to be fair,' Hearn told Off The Ball. 'But we're in November now, that gives you enough preparation for a summer event at Croke Park. 'We've just seen the biggest female fight of all time in front of the biggest audience of all time. It's like, surely...and I'll be honest with you, I don't think it's 100% guaranteed that Katie Taylor will fight again. I'm sure she will, but it's going to take something pretty special and unique'
