Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) left the IBF lightweight title vacant. As a result, Caroline Dubois (8-0, 5 KOs) and Rhiannon Dixon (9-0, 1 KO) will fight for the vacant trophy.

The Irishwoman currently holds the status of absolute world champion in two weight categories - lightweight and super lightweight. Taylor will return to the ring in the spring, but details of her next appearance are unknown at this time.

Dubois, before fighting for the IBF belt, will have one more fight on February 3 at a boxing event in London. Dixon, in her last appearance, won the European title.
