She spoke of finally putting a line through Dublin as a venue for a world title fight. Ireland’s omission had been the grit in the ointment. A bucket list thing. After seven years as a professional, her hometown came later than she imagined it would. But, it has come.
“I just had a chance to meet Deirdre Gogarty for the first time in years. She was a big hero of mine growing up and an inspiration,” said Taylor. Taylor wears her own pressures casually. From the early week face off, which she characterised as harmless nonsense, to the outdoor workout and press conference and, finally, the weigh-in, her equanimity has not wavered.
Her diligence and ever-present sense of knowing the important things and not caring too much about the rest are recurring themes in her answers. There is nonchalance, too.

If she wants the rematch, she knows where I am, I guess,” she says.
Her efforts on that have been crusading and after the last few days of bouncing between the emotion of her homecoming and the cold science of the fight, an apparent contradiction is nothing new.
