Watch: Katie Taylor vs. Jessica McCaskill live stream
The rest of the card includes Conor Benn and Lawrence Okolie, among others
Katie Taylor will be making her first title defense today and the Americans among us are in luck. Showtime will be streaming the card for free on their YouTube page starting at 1:00 PM Eastern.
Taylor (7-0, 4 KO), who defeated Anahi Esther Sanchez for the WBA lightweight title in February, faces Chicago’s Jessica McCaskill (5-1, 3 KO), whom BoxRec lists as the division’s #4. McCaskill has just over two years of pro experience and will be fighting outside of her native Chicago for just the second time.
Other notable names on the card include Conor Benn (10-0, 8 KO), Lawrence Okolie (6-0, 5 KO), and Gamal Yafai (12-0, 5 KO). The most notable fight aside from the main event is likely Martin Joseph Ward (18-0-2, 8 KO) fighting Juli Giner (21-2-1, 8 KO) for the vacant European super featherweight belt.
