Katie Taylor 'humbled' by Serrano win in emotional video post on social media

Katie Taylor has said she was "humbled" by the support of her fans during the all-time classic fight between herself and Amanda Serrano on Sunday morning.

Taylor toppled the Puerto Rican on a split decision after a scrap which many are putting as one of the best of all time.

While Serrano has posted on Twitter and Instagram in the immediate aftermath, the undefeated Bray native had yet to surface on any site until late on Sunday.

There she posted a special in-ring clip of the moment she was announced as the winner of the fight - with her emotions spilling over after hearing the decision.

She captioned the clip: "A night to stir the soul! Humbled by all the support at the Garden. A special fight on a special night"

Taylor, 35, looked to be in huge trouble in the fifth round when she couldn't get out of the corner as Serrano battered her.

However, she recovered in later rounds to take it on the cards.

And now she wants to do it all again, but is desperate for the bout to take place on Irish soil.

She explained: "We all want to see the best vs the best. Yeah, absolutely, a rematch would be absolutely phenomenal.

"If it was in Dublin, we could sell out Croke Park, if you think the atmosphere was special here tonight, imagine the rematch in front of 80,000 people in Croke Park. Absolutely amazing."

Her promoter Eddie Hearn is also keen to make a Dublin fight happen after he was blown away by the atmosphere created by Irish fans at MSG.
