“I didn’t know the song. I just said ‘Yeah’ it’s a real crowd pleaser. Did you like that, the bit of bling,”Its obvious that Taylor doesn't care about these types of things, so much that she also let her choice of boxing attire up to her promoter, Eddie Hearn. He said:
“I said I’ll pay for that. I want you to look a million dollars. It’s Golovkin style but with bling, she wanted a pair of black shorts!”It will be interesting to see how Taylor and Hearn's relationship develops over the coming months. From a personality point of view, they are quite the polar opposites.
Former Irish Middleweight World Champion, Andy Lee, was speaking on Second Captains last night and host, Eoin McDevitt, mentioned an encounter between Hearn and Taylor before the fight which perfectly sums up Taylor's professionalism.
Hearn, who usually would be in the dressing room before a fight, went to wish Taylor good-luck but he quickly turned on his heels and left when he saw how motivated, serious and professional the Bray fighter was in the changing room.
Taylor's next fight is against Brazil's Viviane Obenauf (9-1) on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's IBF heavyweight title defence against Eric Molina in Manchester, just two weeks away.
If Taylor keeps showing this level of commitment and determination then we imagine a world-title shot won't be too far away.
