Katie Taylor v Karen Elizabeth Carabajal fight time, TV and stream information, venue and more

Katie Taylor returns to action this weekend to defend her lightweight world titles against Argentina's Karen Elizabeth Carabajal.

The undisputed world champion was last seen in the ring when defeating Amanda Serrano in a fight of the year contender at Madison Square Garden in late April.

Taylor had hoped to face the Puerto Rican in a rematch at Croke Park this autumn, but that bout never came to fruition with Serrano opting to try and unify the 126lb division first.

Instead the 36-year-old finds herself facing the relatively unknown Carabajal, who has never fought outside her native Argentina before.

There's Irish interest on the undercard too, with Kildare's Gary Cully, who is trained by Taylor's father Pete, facing France's Jaouad Belmehdi.

Belfast's Caoimhin Agyarko was also due to fight on the card, but had to withdraw from his bout due to a hand injury.

Here's what you need to know about the event:

TV and stream information

Quotes corner

Katie Taylor: “The only thing that can actually top what happened at Madison Square Garden would be a big homecoming final at Croke Park, 80,000 people.

“[Croke Park] would be the stuff of dreams, really. I’ve been a professional boxer for six years and I haven’t actually fought at home, so I can’t wait to make that homecoming fight. I hope that can happen.”

Betting odds

Katie Taylor win: 1/33

Karen Elizabeth Carabajal win: 11/1

Draw: 33/1
