Katie Taylor faces tough test in second pro fight

Katie Taylor will face a stern test in her second professional bout, against an opponent with just one loss to her name.

Taylor will fight the Swiss-based Viviane Obenauf in Manchester on the undercard to Anthony Joshua's IBF heavyweight title defence on December 10.

Obenauf has lost just once in ten fights, and that was on points to Vissia Trovato, who is now the featherweight world champion.

Taylor began her pro career with a third round stoppage of Karina Kopinska in London on Saturday.

"Saturday in London was an amazing experience and I can't wait to fight in Manchester on December 10," said Taylor.

"Boxing in front of 21,000 is a new experience for me."
