With a win over the Greek challenger Linardatou, Taylor could become a two-weight world champion by winning the WBO super lightweight title. Linardatou aka Greece’s “Medusa” (12-1, 6 KO) is ranked sixth in the world by BoxRec to Delfine Persoon, back in 2016. She’s beaten three consecutive undefeated opponents since missing all of 2017.
“It’s the last one and if it wasn’t Manchester, then I probably wouldn’t have another one,” Crolla, 32, admitted. “I genuinely believe that I could compete at world-level for another year or two, but if you stay in boxing too long, then it takes more from you than you take from boxing. I don’t want to be that guy.”
“It’s going to be a great match, I genuinely believe that,” said Linardatou (12-1, 6 KOs) through a member of her team. “Both Katie and I came from lower weight categories, but I came up to 140 for an opportunity to fight for titles. I’ve been fighting away from home for my entire career and if Katie wants my title, she’ll have to get it off me.”
Taylor vs Linardatou will be live on DAZN, co-headlined by Manchester’s own Anthony Crolla, who is set to take on former British Olympian Joshua Buatsi, stay tuned for Crolla vs Buatsi odds here.
