Coming off a successful title defense against Miriam Gutierrez, unified lightweight champion Katie Taylor has several options ahead of herself. She is already being billed as the greatest female boxer of all time, and the Irish powerhouse deserves the attention she is receiving.

That said, she might have some tough-tests in the future. While Katie Taylor is already Matchroom’s top prodigy, Eddie Hearn isn’t hesitating to consider some alluring matchups for her. From the boxing world to the MMA universe, Hearn has explored a lot to find suitable matchups for ‘The Bray Bomber.’

If things fall in place, Hearns also wants to finalize a cross-promotion fight between Bellator featherweight champion Cris Cyborg and Katie Taylor. There’s no denying that it will be a big night for women’s combat sports. However, it will take a lot more than the idea to bring to fruition.

Meanwhile, Hearn has also calculated some additional options for Taylor.

Katie Taylor vs Cris Cyborg – A fight for the ages

Cris Cyborg has held a world championship in four different MMA promotions. The Brazilian fighter calls herself the only Grandslam champion in the women’s fighting history. A boxing world title will be a cherry on the cake. That said, a fight against Taylor in the squared circle won’t be easy.

While talking about the Cyborg fight in an interview, Hearn said, “We like the winner of Braekhus-McCaskill. You know it’s the undisputed welterweight championship. Of course, there are talks with Bellator and Scott Coker about Cyborg. Which is a big crossover fight. That’s a major fight.”

He added, “Natasha Jonas up there, Terri Harper moving up to fight Katie Taylor…It’s not even a question.”

Thus, Cyborg is not the only option for Taylor. However, the MMA icon still appears to be the most lucrative offer for her. A win against Cyborg can cement ‘The Bray Bomber’ as one of the greatest combat sports athletes of all time. What do you make of this fantasy booking?
