World Boxing Council female Lightweight Champion, Belgian Delfine Persoon, will face Irish Katie Taylor, who`s also a world champion, in a Supreme Unification this Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Both fighters were present and correct at the final press conference, along with the other protagonists of the undercard.
Persoon has just a single and solitary loss in 44 professional fights. She has reigned as champion for five years, making nine successful defenses, with great and memorable performances, categorically proving she`s one of the very best fighters in the world. Yet Persoon has never fought outside of Europe. Almost all of her career has been in her native country. But now, she takes on this difficult unification challenge against Taylor, in New York, which will define the world’s best fighter in the 135-pound division.
Meanwhile undaunted Taylor, is undefeated in 13 matches. She won her first world title in just her seventh professional fight, when she defeated Anahi Sánchez to win the WBA crown. Then she beat Victoria Noelia Bustos to win the IBF title, and in her last fight on March 15, she knocked out the previously unbeaten Brazilian Rose Volante, to win the WBO crown.
This fascinating and fabulous fight is organized by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, and will be broadcast by the DAZN and Combate Space app in Latin America.
