Katie Taylor still dreaming of Croke Park fight after defeating Serrano for a third time
The Bray Bomber came out on top in her trilogy fight against the Puerto Rican on a majority decision, putting to bed any doubts over her dominance in the rivalry.
Almost 20,000 boxing fans witnessed a more tactical affair than the previous two fights between the pair but Taylor won convincingly to remain the undisputed super lightweight champion.
Quizzed in the ring after the fight on the possibility of retirement, the 39-year-old joked: "I don't know but I just don't want to fight Amanda Serrano again, she punches too hard!"
However, in her post-fight press conference, Taylor hinted that she would like to fulfil her dream of fighting in front of a home crowd at Dublin's Croke Park.
Asked if her loyal and vocal travelling support would see her fight again in Dublin before she hangs up her gloves, Taylor replied, smiling: "Maybe in Croke Park? That would be unbelievable."
She added: "I said it in the ring earlier on, these people are spending their hard-earned money to come over and support me, it just means the world.
"Honestly, I can't believe that this is my life, I'm headlining a show in Madison Square Garden, an all-female card.
"Looking back on the whole journey, what an amazing life.
"These are the nights I dreamed of as a kid and to be sitting here again as a winner, I'm just so happy, so grateful."
However, Taylor added that she feels she has nothing left to prove in the sport and will instead savour her latest victory before making a decision on her career in the future. Cameron criticism
Taylor was full of praise for her long-time foe Serrano, saying they 'created history together three times'.
"My name will always be embedded with hers forever, I'm very, very happy about that," she said.
"What we've been able to create over these last few years has been unbelievable, it's amazing to have a rival like that in the sport."
If Taylor is to fight at Croke Park, it's unlikely to be against English boxer Chantelle Cameron.
The 34-year-old was on Friday's undercard, retaining her WBC interim world super-lightweight title with a points victory over Canadian Jessica Camara.
Cameron — the only fighter to defeat Taylor following a majority decision in Dublin two years ago — may feel she has done enough to merit her own trilogy fight against the Bray Bomber.
However, while Taylor was fulsome in her praise for Serrano, she was dismissive in her assessment of the Northampton fighter.
"I think Chantelle has to see if she can sell out a 1,000-seater arena first," said Taylor.
"I don't think she can sell out any stadium at all.
"I think I've made her more money than she really deserves, to be quite honest."
Taylor has only ever had two professional fights in Ireland, both of which were against Cameron in 2023 at the 3Arena in Dublin.
However, with one victory apiece, could the Irish fighter be tempted into a trilogy showdown on home turf against the former Matchroom fighter?

Donald Trump reveals he's keeping Club World Cup trophy after gatecrashing Chelsea celebrations as Blues get replica The north Dublin side are still, however, favourites to advance to round two of the Champions League qualifiers at 3/10 while the Blues are 13/5. WHAT'S BEEN SAID IN THE BUILD-UP Both sets of managers have spoken about the possibility of penalties with the match so tight after the first leg. "We will have a look and know the goalkeeper and as a staff we're aware of previous penalty takers for Shelbourne. Hopefully it doesn't come to penalties. "For both clubs, with the level of finance and the importance and magnitude of the game, (hopefully) it's not decided by a poor decision. Hopefully it goes to plan.' O'Brien's men are also practising their spot kicks as the former West Ham player reflected on his own penalty experiences. He said: 'I always think but it's mad that in most shootouts I've been involved in I've ended up taking one because you're on the pitch at the end of the game. 'If it goes to 120 minutes, it's attacking players, they're the ones who get taken off. "So when you're going around to your five, it's probably not your first five. I think with the pressure at that moment, whether you practise them or not doesn't have any bearing.' The match is set to be refereed by English Premier League referee Andrew Madley. It is set to be his third Champions League qualifier game having refereed BK Häcken vs KÍ Klaksvík in 2023 and Qarabağ FK vs Lech Poznan in 2022.

Portmarnock Open decision comes closer as tee times to move with loyalist parade
A decision on Portmarnock hosting The Open and the AIG Women's Open could be made by the end of 2025. Speaking ahead of The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush, where crowds of 278,000 over the week will make it the biggest championship outside of St Andrew's, the R&A's new CEO Mark Darbon disclosed that the organisation was in the middle of a feasibility study on bringing the world-famous championships to the Dublin venue. "First one would say is that I've got one venue on my mind this week and it's Portrush, given it is my first Open championship, and looking forward to delivering what we hope will be a successful event," said Darbon. "Yes, we are thinking about Portmarnock. We think it's a wonderful links golf course, and we've been really encouraged by the support that we've had in principle from the Irish government to work with us to understand whether we can stage an Open Championship there in the future. "We're knee-deep in the feasibility work to help us answer that question fully. We expect to have a clearer picture by the back end of this year." Darbon had expressed an eagerness on the R&A's part to bring the championship to Portmarnock when he spoke in Portrush in April, so it remains a live possibility.

Over 60 bands and an estimated 2000 people are due to march as part of a Portrush Sons of Ulster parade, around the same time that the golf finishes for the day and tens of thousands of spectators will be leaving the course. "We realise we are a guest in the communities we visit and on many cases there are concurrent events around the action in the venue," said Darbon. "We've worked collaboratively with multiple agency groups to ensure both events can run as seamlessly as possible. "We're making a slight tweak to Saturday tee times - nothing major, 15 minutes or so earlier - but the weather can play a big role so it's hard to be specific about finishing times." Asked about reports that the R&A offered around £20,000 to march organisers to amend their schedule, Darbon replied: We're contributing to costs to ensure the seamless running of both events."

'There has to be a step up' - Sheehan looks to go to next level with Lions
THIS HAS ALREADY been an impressive season for Dan Sheehan, even though he missed the first half of it. His comeback from an ACL injury has been outstanding, with the Leinster and Ireland hooker hitting the ground running. He hasn't slowed up since. With 14 tries in 14 appearances for province and country, as well as all of his class and power around the pitch, Sheehan has reestablished his position as one of the game's leading hookers. A Lions series is one of the best places to copper-fasten that status, even if Sheehan and his team-mates insist it's all about the collective. Sheehan will look to take his game to the next level and so will everyone else on Andy Farrell's Lions team. 'We've talked about it, there has to be a step up,' said Sheehan this week in Brisbane. 'What we've done so far has been great and I think we've done a good job doing it. But we talked about, there has to be a visible difference this week and this is why we're here. Advertisement 'I think we should be able to feel the energy off people. You should be able to see the collisions, the carries. I think everything is just going to be up a level. 'With that, you have to somehow bring the accuracy with you which can be the tricky part when you get psyched up for a game of this intensity. It's trying to bring the accuracy which we've struggled at times over the last couple of games. That will be crucial. Bringing both accuracy and physicality.' Farrell's Lions team are all about changing the recent record of the touring side. The last series that the Lions won was in 2013, their last visit to Australia. Sheehan is set to start on Saturday in Brisbane. Dan Sheridan / INPHO Dan Sheridan / INPHO / INPHO So all this group is worried about is leaving with a series victory. 'A win,' said Sheehan when asked what legacy they want to leave. 'It would be a good story and a good legacy to have a winning series. We haven't delved too much into the wider picture. We did at the start when we were trying to frame the mindset, but this week has been all about Saturday, and how our prep goes into winning this game on Saturday, and we're going to throw everything at that. 'There's going to be no holding anything back, or waiting for the next two Tests. It's all about Saturday. 'I think we're in a good spot. Lads are hungry, and we're expecting the Wallabies to be hungry. I think it'll be a good Test and fireworks on Saturday.' And Sheehan said the Lions are convinced that winning is the only true way they can repay their travelling support in Australia. 'Performance is the way to do that. Yeah, we can give them a cheer and a clap after the game but ultimately that's not what they came for, they came for a good game of rugby,' said the Irish hooker. 'If we do that, they'll feel part of it. That's a goal of ours, to make sure if we have a big crowd on Saturday which we probably will, that we bring them into the game and make it feel almost like a 50/50 game that could be anywhere in the world. 'But I still think it's down to what we put out on the pitch, that's how you get the crowd in behind you.'
