Katie Taylor is arguably the greatest woman boxer in history. The undefeated Irishwoman is the undisputed lightweight champion of the world. She will now defend her belts against old-foe Natasha Jonas, and Jonas’ coach has given a surprising prediction for the fight.

The two will face each other on the undercard of the Derek Chisora vs. Joseph Parker event on Saturday. Taylor goes into the fight as the firm favorite. However, Joe Gallagher, the trainer of Jonas, has said we could see a Mike Tyson-Esque loss for Taylor.

The trainer of the 9-1-1 boxer spoke to SkySports and said, “I think she can be hurt. If people study her long and hard enough, you’ll see in fights where she has been hurt. She’s been caught, she’s been wobbled, she’s been stunned.”

This comment showed Jonas and her camp are not afraid of Taylor and her success. He then compared their bout to the famous Mike Tyson-Buster Douglas bout.

“Can she be knocked out? Well, we didn’t think Mike Tyson could get knocked out against Buster Douglas. Anyone when they get hit clean on the chin has a chance of going over,” said Gallagher. He then gave his prediction, “I do feel Natasha has to win by stoppage.”
