Katie Taylor faces pressure from interim champion Caroline Dubois regarding her WBC lightweight title. Dubois has demanded that Taylor either defend the title or vacate it, as Taylor has not fought in the lightweight division for over two years. The World Boxing Council is considering stripping Taylor of the title due to her inactivity at 135 pounds. Dubois, who became interim champion in August, stated that Taylor's absence is hindering her career. Taylor recently retained her light welterweight title against Amanda Serrano but is now expected to decide whether to return to lightweight or let go of the belt. Her future plans include potential rematches with Chantelle Cameron and Serrano.
