Katie Taylor reflects on her iconic fights against Amanda Serrano

I'm feeling great thanks, it's obviously been there just a bit over a week since the fight so I am, I think I'm still on a little bit of a high to be honest and just reflecting on the last win and just how amazing the night was for women's boxing as a whole. I think it brought so much light to women's boxing and I think the world team women's boxing was very very best that night and that to me is very very satisfying. Yeah and as you say it wasn't just a win for yourself, it was a win for women's boxing and arguably women's sport in general. How do you kind of process your role in that and this kind of position that you have taken in women's boxing which has been a game changer? Yeah well I think I'm very very proud of the fact that I'm able to have this sort of influence on my sport. I think I'm looking back over my whole career, my first star boxing as a 10 year old and when I first started boxing there's no other female fighters I knew of but right now if you walk into any boxing gym it's packed with female fighters and that for me is the most satisfying part about this. I was able to, me and other women myself, men like Serana, I've been able to kind of influence the next generation and inspire these young fighters coming into the gym. That to me is just absolutely everything and just being able to open the door up for the next generation of fighters has been phenomenal. There's so many obstacles when I started boxing and women's boxing wasn't even a sport for example. Women's boxing didn't even exist in Ireland when I started boxing but here we are now. Women's boxing is celebrated, it's flourishing and that to me is everything. So you and Amanda Serano fought an incredible trilogy. You won all three fights but they were close and I think between you, you have achieved something. I mean Amanda has absolutely played her part in the growth of women's boxing too. How do you describe your relationship? Obviously you're competitors and rivals but are you friends? Do you almost feel like partners in what you've accomplished? Yeah, myself and Amanda have a very good relationship. I would say we don't obviously talk from day to day but I have so much respect for her. I think there's a lot of mutual respect between us and what we've been able to achieve over the last few years. I'm just genuinely so grateful to Amanda Serano that my name is going to be embedded with her name for the rest of our lives I think. We were able to create history together three times. We were the first females to head behind a show at Madison Square Garden. Not just any all-female card, a top quality all-female card and so I'm just proud to be associated with Amanda and like I said those three fights were history-making fights. They were fight of the year contenders and it's been an amazing journey for both of us. I don't know how much time you have to follow other sports but I'd love to ask you if you're aware of Caitlin Clarke. Do you know much about her and if so what do you make of her? Yeah, oh my gosh. Caitlin Clarke is a powerhouse. I've obviously been following her now for the last year or two. Herself, Angel Reese, all those players. What they're doing for the WABA has been absolutely phenomenal. They're global superstars in their sport and pioneers in their sport as well. Look at the crowds they're attracting. Look at the impact that they're having. Absolutely phenomenal. I see that Caitlin Clarke is only making maybe 7, 6k a year. I just seen her on the weekend. I'm thinking this is crazy. This is insane that these girls are only making that much money when they're packing stadiums out. Look at all the merch that they're selling and they deserve better than that. I think they need to get paid a bit more than what they have been paid because it's absolutely insane what they have done for their sport. I have so much respect for them and I'm actually in awe of what they've done over the last couple of years. She's a superstar. She's only going to get better and better and better as years go on as well. Just the amount of inspiration she is to the next generation. That's what's amazing about these players. They're generational talents. She's going to inspire the next generation and they're going to probably even do better than what she's done. That to me is what it's all about. That's what Real Legacy is all about.
