McCaskill won a majority decision on Saturday night in a rematch with Farias to retain her WBA and WBC super-lightweight titles.

Taylor, the undisputed lightweight champion, is coming up a division to challenge Christina Linardatou for the WBO belt next month. Taylor has already beaten McCaskill.

McCaskill said post-fight: "We're looking for McCaskill-Taylor II. We want the WBO and IBF belts.

"We're looking at names like Amanda Serrano. We've talked to their team and they would love a match like that. Cecilia Braekhus? We're looking to make history."

She was frustrated on Saturday night by her opponent's negativity - both boxers had points deducted in an ugly contest.

McCaskill said afterwards: "In the first fight there was brawling, banging, boxing, movement, good shots. I thought that's what I'd get tonight. She gassed, complained and held me."
