Katie Taylor has given a special shout out to Conor McGregor and said that she is "grateful" for his support ahead of her homecoming fight in Dublin's 3Arena.
Katie, 36, is set to fight in her first professional bout in Ireland on May 20 in the 3Arena against England's Chantelle Cameron. For months there was uncertainty over the venue. McGregor had previously voiced his support for Katie by having discussions with boxing promoter Eddie Hearn for the bout to take place in Croke Park, before the 3Arena was eventually chosen as the venue.
Taking to Instagram, Katie posted: "I’m very grateful to @tidlsport and @thenotoriousmma for their support ahead of a special night for me this weekend." In response, McGregor liked her post and shared a crown emoji.
