Katie Taylor breaks silence on Ireland homecoming as she faces media

Katie Taylor spoke openly about her Ireland homecoming as she was on media duties to promote her fight.

The World champion will face Chantelle Cameron at the 3 Arena on May 20 and it will be Taylir's first professional fight on Irish soil.

Taylor said of the fight taking place in Ireland: "It's incredible that after 22 fights, I'm finally making my homecoming fight and big-time boxing is coming back to Ireland.

"And it's not just coming back with any ordinary fight but two undisputed champions going head to head.

"This is one of the most exciting fights out there right now and once I heard that Serrano was out, I thought that Chantelle was the obvious choice.

"She's had a spotless career and as an undisputed champion she has the style to make this another epic and contender for fight of the year - like that first fight against Serrano".

Taylor and Cameron meet in May but tickets for the fight have not yet gone on sale while some 9,000 are expected to attend.
