What channel is Katie Taylor vs. Firuza Sharipova? Live stream info, start time, how to watch on DAZN

Katie Taylor has defended her undisputed women's lightweight championship twice so far in 2021, seeing off the challenges of both Natasha Jonas and Jennifer Han. Now, she goes for a 3-for-3 year when she puts them all up against Firuza Sharipova in Liverpool.

Taylor remains undefeated as a pro and has her eyes on a superfight against Amanda Serrano, who along with Taylor is considered one of the top three women pound-for-pound in the sport today, in 2022. To stand a chance of making that dream a reality, she must first get past the challenge of the Kazakhstan fighter, who has not been defeated since a four-round decision reverse on her pro debut way back in May 2016.

The contest serves as one half of a double main event alongside Conor Benn vs. Chris Algieri in a welterweight 12-rounder.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of fight night.
