Katie Taylor and Daniel Jacobs will both fight on a busy New York bill on April 28, live on Sky Sports.

Taylor will be looking to add the IBF women's lightweight title to her WBA crown when she faces Victoria Noelia Bustos in a unification fight, while the 'Miracle Man' takes on Maciej Sulecki, at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn.

Local heavyweight favourite Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller (20-0-1-KO18) takes on former world title challenger Johan Duhaupas (37-4-KO24), with the Brooklynite hoping to become a mandatory challenger to WBC king Deontay Wilder.

Taylor won her title on the Anthony Joshua undercard in Cardiff in October, and is attempting to become a unified champion in her second visit to America.

Bustos (18-4-KO0), from Argentina, won her IBF title a year ago but is already a two-weight, three-time world champion.

"Victoria Bustos is one of the longest reigning champions in women's boxing so I'm expecting a very tough fight," said Taylor.

"Becoming unified champion is very important to me. Last year was great but I'm not really one for looking back and it's all about the next challenge.

"I believe that winning my first world title as a pro is just the start of it, I want to fight all the other champions and unify the lightweight division."
