Refreshingly honest from Delfine 'technically she is better than me', but she's right in that Taylor's unlikely to go to war and the chances of getting favourable refereeing in Eddie Hearn's back yard are slim to none I'd guess.

It's boxing not rock em sock em robots, does my head in when less skilled fighters complain that more skilled fighters use their skills

at least it won't look as bad as Joshua's hit and run against an out of shape obese Mexican lol

Katie is significantly smaller than Persoon...

We all watched the first fight ... which makes the headline worthless!! It was a proper slog match at times. I’m looking forward to the rematch

Shorter. Yes. Lighter? Not so much. In their first meeting Delfine weighed at 130 whereas Katie weighed close the 135 limit. In fact the heaviest Persoon's weighed at in the her last 4 is 131 and the lowest 127. Taylor was 139.5 in her last start and hasn't weighed under 134 since 2016.

Traditional logic would dictate Taylor should be the aggressor, but in this case Taylor's the boxer and Delfine's the one wanting to make it a fire-fight.

Persoon is 4 inches taller, I guess... and bigger body frame...
