"We are looking for an October-November date in Ireland for a world title," said Hearn. "America is next in June or July possibly on the Andre Ward-Sergey Kovalev bill. She's the most entertaining female fighter on the planet - what you saw tonight was more professionalism."Following the disappointing end to her record-breaking amateur career at the Rio Olympics, there were some fears Taylor might struggle in the pro ranks, but since making her bow in November, she has looked right at home. Her manager Brian Peters summed up the whirlwind few months with the perfect tweet on Sunday night. https://twitter.com/BPPboxing/status/858804205846441985 Taylor, rehydrating after her previous night's endeavours, her face unmarked despite seven rounds with a previously undefeated opponent, is driven away from the 90,000-seater stadium where she excelled in her fifth ever pro bout.
"Five months, five fights, five wins. It's been an incredible journey so far with Katie Taylor," wrote Peters. "Looking forward to the next stop."Exciting times for Irish boxing.
