"I knew I had a bump on the eye but it wasn't going to affect me," she said. "I've got two belts. Two more to go."The next opponent comes in the form of the experienced Cindy Serrano in Chicago but that's just going to be another stepping stone according to Eddie Hearn who is fed up clarifying Katie Taylor's achievements by pigeon-holing them inside the term 'female boxing'.
"Forget all this men's boxing and female boxing," Hearn said after the fight in the O2 Arena. "She's one of the biggest stars in the entire sport. "She's fighting in the US next. She should be a worldwide star."Since Hearn took on Taylor in November 2016, he said that she could change the sport and, 10 impressive wins later, he doesn't want to hear women or men's boxing. Taylor is a boxer who is performing at a level that everyone can admire and Tony Bellew spoke on Sky Sports Box Office to echo Hearn's sentiments.
"I'm sick of saying men's boxing, women's boxing..." Bellew said. "It's boxing and she does it brilliantly. It's boxing and her technique is amazing. I enjoy watching her."If you don't enjoy watching Katie Taylor, you're not a boxing fan.
