Katie Taylor vs. Karen Elizabeth Carabajal: List of odds, favourites, markets, prediction and betting trends
Watch Katie Taylor's return on Oct. 29 on DAZN
Undisputed women's lightweight champion Katie Taylor returns to the ring for the first time since her epic clash with Amanda Serrano on Saturday night, live on DAZN (excluding Australia and New Zealand).
The Irish sporting superstar will take on the undefeated Argentinian Karen Elizabeth Carabajal in what will be the biggest fight of the latter's career.
For Taylor this is a chance to make a statement at Wembley Arena as she pursues a rematch with Serrano in 2023.
As always, there are plenty of bets to be made so let's take a look at them.

Katie Taylor vs. Karen Elizabeth Carabajal
Following a thrilling and gruelling fight with Amanda Serrano in April, there will be questions as to how much Katie Taylor has left to give inside the ring.
However, after a six month break, Taylor looks re-energised and ready to continue making waves in women's boxing, and I'm expecting another dominant performance from the London 2012 gold medallist.
This will be a huge step up for Karen Elizabeth Carabajal who despite being 19-0, lacks any names of note on her professional record and with just two of her 19 wins coming by way of knockout, I don't expect her to be able to stop Taylor.
For Taylor, this could be a showcase of her exceptional boxing ability and while I don't see an an explosive knockout, I expect Taylor to win every one of those 10 rounds with ease and triumph on the judges' scorecards.
