The WBA will have two world title fights in December

The WBA will have three world title fights in December.

The last month of the year will feature two World Boxing Association (WBA) championship fights. Two male bouts and one female bout will be on the international schedules for the end of 2017.

The first fight will be the defense of the Irish Katie Taylor (7-0, 4KO), who will step in the ring on December 13 in London to expose her Lightweight crown against American Jessica McCaskill (5-1, 3KO). For Taylor, it will be the first defense of her title, which she won last October against Anahí Esther Sánchez.

Ryoichi Taguchi – Boxer of the Month July 2017 — Ryoichi Taguchi.

Finally, on New Year’s Eve, the Light Flyweight Champion, Ryoichi Taguchi (26-2-2, 12KO), will try to close the year in a good way on December 31 against Filipino Milan Melindo (37-2, 13KO) in a very interesting fight that will take place in Tokyo, the birthplace of the champion.

The trio of fights will be a pretty successful year-end for the WBA, which has had a calendar full of good battles and lots of action around the world.
