“I hate all the talk,” Katie Taylor says as she sets aside her usual polite patience and shows how much she needs to win her world title rematch against Chantelle Cameron in Dublin on Saturday night. Taylor lost her long unbeaten record as the dominant force in women’s boxing when she was outpointed by Cameron six months ago. The pain she has been through can be heard in her blunt dismissal of the fripperies surrounding a fight which could have stark consequences for her career.
“I hate all these press conferences, there’s nothing to say,” Taylor says. “The only people I listen to are my team, my family, the people I trust.”
