Katie Taylor will make more history when she returns to the ring to face Amanda Serrano in a massive rematch this weekend.

The 2012 Olympic gold medallist defends her super-lightweight world titles against the Puerto Rican following their fight of the year scrap at Madison Square Garden in 2022.

Friday's event, headlined by Mike Tyson's fight with Jake Paul, could be the most watched boxing event of all-time, with Netflix streaming it to their 282million+ subscribers.

Taylor loves performing under the bright lights but away from the ring she very much keeps herself to herself and likes to keep her private life exactly that. The 38-year has previously told how she hates being asked about her relationship status.

When asked which question she hates being asked most by The Athletic last year, Taylor replied: "Probably the question about relationships. That’s another question people always ask. I guess people are just interested in my personal life.

"I get it all the time. It’s a bit annoying at times but I’m just polite and get on with it. I don’t think male boxers get asked it, though."

Taylor told The Irish Mirror in 2019 that she is so busy with boxing that she doesn't have time for a relationship.

She said: “I’m not [seeing anyone] at the moment, I really genuinely haven’t got the time.

“I’m just out in America training hard at the moment but who knows what could happen in the future.”
