Background

Jacobs is determined to secure a second fight with Golovkin after his points loss to 'GGG' in 2017, but his unbeaten Polish opponent holds his own title ambitions after racking up 26 victories.

Taylor can take another big step towards becoming the dominant champion in her division if she adds the IBF belt to her WBA title.
