Katie Taylor puts all of her titles on the line against Karen Elizabeth Carabajal from Buenos Aires tonight (via IrishTimesSport)

Carabajal has not fought outside Argentina in her 19-0 career and at 32 has never been in the ring with an opponent of Taylor’s stature. For ‘The Queen of humility’, as Hearn called Taylor at this week’s press conference, the fight is less a career defining outing like her last against Amanda Serrano in Madison Square Garden and more taking care of business.

“These fighters are always very, very dangerous and I’m looking forward to showcase what I can do on Saturday night. My mindset is the same as it has ever been and I just love the sport. I still have the passion for my sport that I ever had and that’s where the motivation comes from.” “Yes, obviously we have been preparing for a great opportunity like this,” said the Argentine challenger. “I have to say thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Taylor continues to hold the notion as something to tick off her bucket list in a career that has so far been unable to deliver a major fight in her hometown. Still, boxing thrives on novelties and big ideas that very often never happen, although, this time the champion has said her team have been in discussions with the GAA about using Croke Park.

“It’s been a phenomenal six years and I honestly believe the best is yet to come, fight after fight. I don’t live on past performances or past successes. I can’t wait. It’s great to headline another huge show and to have Gary on the bill is fantastic. I used to train with Gary in the amateur days so it’s great to be sharing a card with him.”
