In the world of women's boxing, few names resonate with the force and reverence as that of Katie Taylor. The Irish veteran has shattered ceilings and set new benchmarks, boasting a career that is both inspiring and wildly successful.

On a recent edition of the Overlap podcast, promoter Eddie Hearn detailed how it was Taylor who was primarily responsible for women competing in the Olympic Games. Speaking to Gary Neville and Co., he said "She went to the IOC and told them you have to allow women's boxing in the Olympics. They said no we're not doing that and she wouldn't stop. In the end, the IOC said to come and have an exhibition bout, bring a friend or something and so she took the number two ranked fighter in the world. In the end, the IOC said oh my god you're in. She actually got women's boxing into the Olympics."

So with Taylor being one of the most important figures in women's sport as a whole, we decided to take a look at her three most impressive victories throughout her illustrious career.

Redemption Against Chantelle Cameron - November 2023

Taylor's rematch against Chantelle Cameron was more than a fight; it was a quest for redemption. Six months prior,  betting websites providing odds and offers on women's boxing had made her a narrow favourite in her mission to become a two-weight undisputed champion. Unfortunately for her, she suffered the only professional loss of her career, on home turf in Dublin, no less. The second time around, she welcomed the English champion back to the Emerald Isle in a rematch with massive stakes.

The fight was a tactical masterclass. Utilising her speed and precision, she managed to out maneuver Cameron, who had  previously bested her in comprehensive fashion. The fight went the istance, with the home favourite winning by a razor-thin - but deserved - majority decision (98-92, 96-94, 95-95), a testament to the closely fought battle.

Beats Amanda Serrano in Biggest Female Fight of All Time - April of 2022

Taylor's bout against Amanda Serrano was billed as the biggest female fight of all time, and it lived up to every ounce of its hype. Held at the iconic Madison Square Garden, this fight marked the first time two women headlined a main event at the venue, setting a precedent for the sport.

The fight was a thrilling display of skill, heart, and resilience. Both fighters traded blows in a contest that was too close to call, with Taylor ultimately emerging victorious via a split decision. This win was significant not just for Taylor but for women's boxing as a whole. It showcased the depth of talent in the sport and proved that female fighters could headline major sporting events, drawing large audiences and delivering compelling performances. And if that wasn't enough, it even won the coveted Event of the Year award from the highly-respected Ring Magazine.

Beats Delfine Persoon to Become Undisputed Lightweight Champion - April 2019

Taylor's decision victory over Delfine Persoon in April 2019 is perhaps one of her most defining moments. This win saw her become the undisputed lightweight champion, holding all four major titles simultaneously, as well as becoming the inaugural The Ring champion.

The fight with the Belgian titleholder was a war of attrition, with both fighters giving as good as they got. It was a brutal, relentless contest that pushed Taylor to her limits. Yet, through sheer will and skill, Taylor managed to edge out Persoon in a hotly contested match that went the full ten rounds.

Plenty of fans thought that Persoon did enough to get the victory, so Taylor agreed to a rematch 14 months later. And the second time around, she dispatched her opponent in a much more dominant fashion, this time winning unanimously across all three scorecards.
