Undisputed female lightweight champion Katie Taylor is ready for every in-ring adversary, as she is set to put her titles at stake against the unbeaten Miriam Gutierrez this Saturday. Still fresh from her victory against Delfine Persoon in August, the Irish powerhouse is seemingly the favorite in the contest.

However, she doesn’t want to belittle her upcoming opponent and is highly concerned about her in-ring tactics. While it will be a huge opportunity for Gutierrez to become the new undisputed champion, ‘The Bray Bomber’ is eyeing the fight as a massive opportunity for herself.

It will be her fourteenth appearance, and the global attention will be solely on her. That said, she doesn’t want to be complacent. Instead, she wants to bring her best game to the fore against Guiterrez. ‘The Bray Bomber’ has talked about her game plan for her upcoming fight in a press meet with Eddie Hearn.
