Following the fight, Taylor was visited in her changing room by British world champ Anthony Joshua. The heavyweight stopped by to congratulate Taylor and talk Christmas plans before offering an insight as to his own title defence(s) in 2019.
"I loved it out there," said Joshua. "I just wanted to come and say well done... as usual!"Joshua said Taylor was fully deserving of a decent Christmas holiday and laughed when she joked that it felt as if she had been in camp for the past seven months straight. Taylor was just as eager as the rest of us to learn who Joshua would be fighting next - Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder? "Whoever wants it, really," Joshua replied.
"It's easy when you have the venue and the date set. It's about whoever wants to fight... Their fight was really good for the division because it puts a bit of a taste in people's mouths, and for other heavyweights and it opens the pool a bit more. When people are talking about it, it makes it more interesting."Asked by Taylor's manager Brian Peters if he could get a picture of the champions together, Joshua handed over his phone and asked, "Can I get one too?" As he posed for pictures beside Taylor, Joshua leaned over and said, "It's all starting for you." There was even a hug and a few words for Bridget Taylor, Katie's mother, before Joshua left them to it. "See you later champ." https://youtu.be/2U3mQFX-x18 Lovely scenes, and whoever started singing Rule Britannia was at least quick to pipe down.
