Taylor, who turned professional in October, saw off Milena Koleva last month to remain unbeaten in the professional ranks after four fights.

She also fought on the undercard of Tony Bellew's win over David Haye in London, stopping Italy's Monica Gentili in the fifth round.

Speaking about her upcoming bout she added: "I've watched Meinke and she's a very strong opponent. She's unbeaten so it's a step up for me and I'm sure she'll be very confident.

"It's my first scheduled 10 round fight so I'm relishing the challenge.

"I'll be in great shape come fight night and I'm just really looking forward to being part of such a historic event."
