Katie Taylor says Tiah-Mai Ayton can become the greatest female boxer of all time after the 19-year-old secured her second stoppage win on Saturday.<\/b><\/p>\n
Bristol’s Ayton turned professional aged 18 in June<\/a> and defeated Lydie Bialic in her second bout in Sunderland.<\/p>\n Two-weight undisputed champion Taylor is considered a strong contender for greatest of all time, but was full of praise for the young English bantamweight.<\/p>\n “I don’t think we’ve seen a talent like this in a long time,” Taylor told DAZN.<\/p>\n “This is the best female boxer in the world right here. This is the future right here. It’s a privilege to watch such a talent.<\/p>\n “I can’t believe she’s just turned 19 years of age. This is scary.<\/p>\n “She’s like a seasoned pro in there. I learned from watching her fight – amazing performance.”<\/p>\n Ayton knocked down Bialic in the third round and drew blood from the Frenchwoman’s nose in the fourth.<\/p>\n Bialic hit the deck again after a barrage of heavy right hands, prompting the referee to stop the fight.<\/p>\n Ayton was not the only teenage boxer to impress on the undercard of the Pat McCormack-Miguel Parra fight, as bantamweight Adam Maca<\/a> and heavyweight Leo Atang also produced stoppage wins.<\/p>\n Maca, 18, knocked Francisco Rodriguez down in the fourth and final round of their contest, before the Spainard’s corner threw in the towel.<\/p>\n Atang, 18, made short work of Cristian Uwaka, blasting away his fellow Briton in just one round.<\/p>\n Also on the undercard, Sandy Ryan bounced back from successive defeats<\/a> to Mikaela Mayer to claim her first win since March 2024.<\/p>\n Ryan dropped her welterweight world title to Mayer and then lost the rematch in March.<\/p>\n But the Derby fighter began her rebuild with a win by defeating Jade Grierson by unanimous decision to claim her eighth career win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
