On this day in 2020: Katie Taylor outpoints Miriam Gutiérrez at Wembley
The Irish fighter kept her undisputed lightweight titles on a unanimous decision, with the judges scoring it 100–89, 100–90 and 99–91.
Katie Taylor defended her undisputed lightweight titles against Miriam Gutiérrez at Wembley Arena in London 6 years ago today, winning a 10-round unanimous decision on 14 November 2020.
The victory kept the WBA belt and the rest of her lightweight titles in Taylor's hands, extending a reign as undisputed and lineal world lightweight champion that ran from 2019 to 2024. Taylor, then 34, had the judges' backing by wide margins, with scorecards of 100–89, 100–90 and 99–91.
During the post-fight interview, Eddie Hearn listed possible opponents for her next fight. They included Amanda Serrano, a rematch with undisputed welterweight champion Jessica McCaskill, former undisputed welterweight champion Cecilia Braekhus, or a crossover fight with the MMA fighter Cris Cyborg.
Taylor later moved up in weight and became the undisputed and lineal world super lightweight champion on two separate occasions between 2023 and 2026. The former footballer, who has since retired from professional boxing, is credited with raising the profile of women's boxing in Ireland and around the world, and she held undisputed status in two weight classes during her career.
