Her last fight was in December, a unanimous decision win against Miriam Gutierrez.

No one can disagree that undisputed women's lightweight champion Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are two of the best female fighters in boxing today.

"When it comes to Katie Taylor, she took the golden route to success. It took her twice the time to get to this position," Mora said. "I think Katie Taylor needs to and is going to show that she is not some faded version of her former self and she is still very much worthy of being called the number one women’s fighter in the sport."

Two years in the making, the superfight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano finally takes place on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

"And I think the fight is going to get there at some stage. "This is for the next generation of female fighters," said Taylor. "This is to inspire the next generation of female fighters and that is what is all about for me and that is the best part of this legacy." Coming into the fight as a narrow underdog in relation to how the bookmakers see the fight going, there is a narrative knocking around that Katie has been in too many wars in her career, with the Persoon first fight still causing people to doubt whether the champion can maintain her unblemished record in the sport. Expect Serrano to look to dominate the centre of the ring to make a statement in the early exchanges, however, it will be intriguing to see how long it takes her to throw her first power-punch in Taylor’s direction. Serrano, likewise, has claimed to be in the shape of her life coming into this fight, and while she is naturally the smaller fighter, she may have enjoyed a more intensive week coming into the fight, not having to pay too much heed to the 135lb limit. As a result, Serrano should make it more difficult for Taylor to stick to her tactically approach to the fight, yet she still possesses all the skills necessary to dismantle her opponent, blow by blow, over what could be a highly entertaining ten round contest at the Garden.

Ahead of tonight's super-fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden, here is an A to Z of the Bray boxer.

I want to give them hope and I want them to know that the dreams they have in their hearts can be possible." To that end, Taylor has become a central star in the Matchroom galaxy, joining the likes of Anthony Joshua in the company’s headline bracket. On Saturday night we're going to put on a showcase for the sport." So, this week seems like a piece of cake in comparison to the pressure I was feeling during those London Olympics to be quite honest.” That event also took place in Madison Square Garden’s hallowed hall, as KT became the undisputed lightweight champion of the world, eventually defusing the threat of then fellow titlist Delfine Persoon to eke out a frenetic victory. In the end, she forewent that promising soccer career (as well as a slew of lucrative stateside university scholarships) to redouble efforts towards her Olympic dream. “I just think it would be very disappointing if she never got the chance to go to Ireland and let her have that moment. The well-chronicled security concerns emanating from The Regency shooting of 2016 served to stifle much of the momentum around the domestic boxing scene. The Norfolk native first segued from investment banking into the boxing beat around 2002, training a slew of prospects before winning the head coaching role with Team Taylor in 2016. I don’t think that I’d be in the position I’m in today if it wasn’t for all those girls who went before me." A proud exponent of Wicklow’s coastal capital, Taylor continues to fly its flag the world over. Breaking down boundaries in the paid ranks is her primary preoccupation now, but Katie Taylor’s trailblazing transformation of amateur boxing will likely endure as her magnum opus.
