Katie Taylor has been told to make a decision regarding her belt by the WBC's interim lightweight champion Caroline Dubois
Katie Taylor has been issued an ultimatum by interim champion Caroline Dubois: defend your WBC lightweight world title or give it up.
Taylor is still the WBA, WBC , and The Ring champion. However, the World Boxing Council is deliberating whether to strip her of her title next month due to inactivity. "I'm mandatory to the belt. Katie needs to either come back down and fight me or let the belt go," Dubois told Sky Sports. "She hasn't fought for the belt for over a year now," Dubois said.
"She's fought Amanda Serrano, I'm sure she's going to want the trilogy, that's going to be a big money fight. But that will be at 140lbs. So there's no business even holding onto the belt. Just let it go and I get on with my career and she can get on with hers."
