It's just the fight has happened whereas with me it's always been 'she's got to do this, she's got to do that, this and that' whereas now what's left? this and that, whereas now I'm a world champion, I was unified world champion, now I'm undisputed. And maybe a lot of fighters don’t want to open themselves to that position (of fighting away) but you know me, I really don’t care. Before I wasn't a world champion... "I fully understand what she’s done for this sport and that she is worthy of having her next fight in her hometown at Croke Park.
