In a women’s 10-round lightweight bout for the undisputed title, Katie Taylor and Jennifer Han face each other Saturday at Headingley Stadium in Leeds, United Kingdom. The main card begins at 2 p.m. ET, with the co-main event starting at approximately 4 p.m. ET on DAZN. Below, we break down the Taylor vs. Han odds and lines, with boxing picks and predictions.
The Irish-born Taylor is looking to retain her world lightweight titles, and she is hopeful of setting up a huge pay-per-view fight with Amanda Serrano. She must first get by Han in England.
Taylor went the distance in each of her last five fights, including a unanimous-decision victory over Natasha Jones in Manchester in May. Each of her last four bouts were in the UK, so she’ll feel right at home.
Han has won eight consecutive fights since a majority-decision loss in 2014. Each of those eight bouts was decided by unanimous decision.

Taylor vs. Han predictions and picks
You cannot bet Taylor (-10000) straight up on the money line, as a $100 wager would return just $1, and that’s not a good long-term bet.
Instead, you’ll need to get more specific. Take TAYLOR ON POINTS. She hasn’t gotten a lot of finishes lately, especially as the quality of opponent has improved, but she is a tremendous fighter, wowing the judges in all aspects with her technical ability.
Taylor vs. Han best bet
Each of the last five fights for Taylor went the distance, while Han has involved the judges in each of her last eight bouts. As such, play YES: WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?
