• World Boxing Council president Mauricio Sulaimán said Taylor informed the body she is stepping away to attend to personal matters.
• Taylor’s emeritus status preserves her first right to challenge the WBC super-lightweight titleholder if she returns.
• Interim champion Chantelle Cameron, Taylor’s former mandatory and rival, has been ordered to face Sandy Ryan to ratify the vacant title.
• Sandy Ryan brings prior world-level credentials, including a WBO welterweight reign and a recent points win over Jade Grierson.
• Promotional arrangements for a UK headliner would need agreement between Matchroom and Jake Paul’s MVP, while promoter Eddie Hearn says Taylor is unlikely to decide on her future before the new year.
