Boxing star Katie Taylor steps down as WBC champion, taking a break to handle personal issues.

Katie Taylor, the undisputed super-lightweight world champion, has been awarded the 'Champion in Recess' status by the World Boxing Council (WBC). This prestigious title is given to boxers who have had an outstanding career and achieved elite status in the sport.

Taylor's victory came against Amanda Serrano two months ago, adding another feather to her already impressive cap. However, when asked about her future intentions, the boxing sensation remained coy.

"I will make a decision on whether I will fight again in the future," Taylor said, playing down earlier suggestions of retirement after her victory. Despite her cryptic response, it is clear that Taylor is taking a well-deserved break from the ring.

The 'Champion in Recess' status is designated in specific circumstances such as injuries, personal issues, or moving up in weight class. In Taylor's case, it seems that she is using this time to weigh her options and decide on her next move.

What does this status mean for Taylor's future in the ring? Well, it allows her to contend for the WBC belt upon her return to the ring. This means that if Taylor decides to come back, she will be in a strong position to challenge for the WBC title once again.

Taylor's 'Champion in Recess' status is a testament to her elite status in the sport. With a career spanning over a decade, Taylor has proven herself to be one of the greatest boxers of all time. As she takes a break from the ring, fans can only wait with bated breath to see what the future holds for this incredible athlete.
