Katie Taylor was just four months into her pro career for her lone other appearance in Manchester, England.

Sadly, it was confirmation of his last days as a threat to the lightweight crown, having come up well short in his rematch with Jorge Linares against whom he had conceded his title six months later.

Headlining the bill, Ireland's Taylor moves up in weight as the unbeaten World lightweight champion squares off with reigning junior welterweight titlist Christina Linardatou.
