KATIE TAYLOR will be looking to make history once again as she faces Chantelle Cameron for the undisputed super-lightweight titles.
Taylor was originally scheduled to face Amanda Serrano in a huge rematch but an injury to the Puerto Rican halted proceedings.
So in steps undisputed champ at 140lbs Cameron, who has been lobbying for a clash with Taylor for much of her career.
Taylor is already the undisputed champion at lightweight, and repeating the same achievement in the weight class above would put her into her own stratosphere of greatness.
But Cameron is a tricky foe, and represents some very different in-ring problems for Taylor, who fought brilliantly to win a close decision against Serrano in New York one year ago.
And is all takes place in Dublin, where Taylor is fighting for the very first time in her professional career.
