Katie Taylor explains her biggest downfall ahead of Amanda Serrano fight

Katie Taylor has opened up on her biggest set back as she prepares for her fight against Amanda Serrano.

Taylor will headline at Madison Square Garden in the biggest fight in boxing but said that there is always one training set back she suffers.

The Olympic gold medal winner revealed that she loves tucking into chocolate even on the days of weigh ins.

When asked by Sarah Shephard of the Athletic what is one people would be surprised to know about her, Taylor says she just loves eating chocolate.

She said: "(I) am a chocoholic. I can’t go a day without eating chocolate, even when I’m making weight.

"I love my chocolate; it’s probably my biggest downfall. American chocolate is not the best but you can get Cadbury’s out here. Back home, my favourite is just a Cadbury’s milk chocolate bar. I just love any chocolate, really."

Taylor will weight in this afternoon for her bout against Serrano with her fight scheduled for around 3.15 am on Saturday night/Sunday morning.
