McCaskill (6-2 3 KOs) landed her title in her Chicago homepatch in October, outpointing Erica Farias to land the belt in just her eighth pro fight.

‘CasKILLA’ had already fought for a World title in her seventh fight when she travelled to London to tackle Irish great Katie Taylor for the WBA Lightweight crown, and as she prepares to reach for great heights once again in just her ninth fight against seasoned Argentina Sanchez (19-3 11 KOs), the 34 year old says that she’s been prepared to move her career quickly ever since teaming up with trainer Rick Ramos.

“Rick said that we would be on a fast pace from day one, this will be my ninth fight and it’s a unification – that’s kind of crazy but we’re going to go with the flow and I am ready for this,” said McCaskill.

“It’s always great to be told that you are fighting. Last year I was told I was fighting then I’m not fighting, it was rough. Knowing that you have a fight coming up, especially a really big one, lights a fire under you and even the team around you. 

“I don’t have a camp, we’re always in the gym, it doesn’t matter when it is there is always someone fighting, if it’s not me with a fight coming up someone else does and it’s my obligation to help them. For my own wellbeing and my own career, I want to be in the gym and focusing on training and improving.

“It’s like clockwork in the gym and it gives me an advantage as my mind is always ready to fight. I’m always hungry for something because I don’t do this for nothing – I want the belts, I want the big fights, I want to unify and I want to be undisputed.

“Every time you have a big fight you come out of it that little bit sharper. Even the amateurs in the gym, they’ve just come back from a tournament in Reno, both ranked number one in their weight class and they are thirsty for blood, sparring is on another level, so it helps everyone in the gym.”

McCaskill’s clash with Sanchez is part of a huge night of action in Maryland as Lightweight sensation Devin Haney makes his DAZN debut against Antonio Moran, rising Heavyweight Croatian talent Filip Hrgovic taking on Gregory Corbin on his US debut and there’s more Heavyweight interest as Michael Hunter tackles Gregory Corbin.

McCaskill (6-2 3KOs) became the WBC World champion in the first Matchroom Boxing USA show on American soil on DAZN in October, ripping the title from Erica Farias to land the crown in just her eighth pro outing in her hometown of Chicago.

Sanchez (19-3 11KOs) became a four-weight World champion in April by stopping Diana Ayala for the WBA title in the opening round to claim the title on her Pergamino, Argentina stomping ground. The impressive 27 year old moved up to 140lbs after challenging Katie Taylor in October 2017 for the vacant WBA Lightweight title, with McCaskill then being the first defense for the Irish great in December 2017.

McCaskill and Sanchez can take the first step on the road to becoming the undisputed champion in a fight in association with Warriors Boxing, and the 34 year old CasKILLA cannot wait to test herself against the Argentine.

“I’m very excited to be working with Eddie Hearn and DAZN,” said McCaskill. “We want to be involved in the BIG fights! My team and I are ready to make history and change the game in women’s boxing.

“I know that this is going to be a tough fight but this is what I am in the sport for. Erica is a top fighter, but I feel in great shape and in a great frame of mind, and I cannot wait for May 25.”

“This is a huge fight and one I am so excited for,” said Sanchez. “Jessica put in a great performance winning her World title and I expect a really tough fight on May 25.

“I think that I have the edge in terms of experience having boxed for World titles many times, but I know that Jessica is on the rise and will be motivated for this fight so I expect a really hard night.”

“I am delighted to see Jessica McCaskill get this chance to unify the WBC and WBA titles,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “Jessica’s win in Chicago was such a fantastic moment for Jessica, her team and Chicago – and she raring to go for May 25.

“It’s a tough night ahead though as Anahi Sanchez is a quality operator that has bags of experience at the top level – with more World title fights than Jessica has had fights – so it promises to be yet another great Women’s World title fight live on DAZN.”

McCaskill and Sanchez clash on the undercard of pound-for-pound star Oleksandr Usyk as the Ukrainian moves up to Heavyweight after dominating the Cruiserweight division, and takes on former World title challenger Carlos Takam with rising Heavyweight Croatian talent Filip Hrgovic taking on Gregory Corbin on his US debut.
