Earlier on the night,
Cameron famously beat Taylor in her homecoming bout at the 3Arena before the Bray woman avenged that defeat in November 2023 to
However, a trilogy does not appear to be on KT's mind, as she illustrated with her most direct instance of trash-talking to date.
In the post-fight press conference, she remarked: "I think Chantelle has to see if she can sell-out a 1,000-seater arena first.

"I don't think she can sell out any stadium at all.
"I think I made her more money than she deserves, to be quite honest."
Cameron has long since been lobbying for a threequel against the Irishwoman.
Back in March, she accused Taylor of "running away scared" after hopes of a trilogy fight between the two fell through.

"It is what it is but, at the end of the day, I have a win over Katie and Katie has a win over me and now she is running scared."
It is not a case of who KT will fight next, but if she will fight at all, as the Bray Bomber admitted herself.

As she has been after every fight in recent times, Taylor was asked if she was going to keep going or retire.
And the Bray woman responded: "I don't know".
However, she did rule out a fourth clash against her biggest rival, adding: "I just don't want to fight Amanda Serrano again.
While their first two bouts were white-knuckle brawls, Taylor largely dictated the threequel at her own pace, with

While even the judge that scored it a draw gave her three of the last five rounds as her stamina, intelligence and skill paid dividends.
After tasting defeat for the third time,
She said: "I tried something different. It was all about working smarter, not harder.
"I tried to keep my distance, try not go in there and fight with her because, apparently, it didn't work the first two fights so tried to stick with the low punches, the 1-2s and I guess it wasn't enough.

"One judge saw it even. I got a couple of rounds. I don't know. I have to go back and see it. My team said I won.
"Obviously I am going to go with what my team tells me. They were telling me what to do and I was trying to apply it in the ring."

Three stand-out players in Ireland's record-breaking demolition of Portugal
In what was a damp squib of a test match Ireland came out of the gates firing and blazed Portugal apart in a 106-7 win in Lisbon. Stuart McCloskey got the try-scoring underway after less than a minute as there were eight first half tries. Debutants Shayne Bolton and Hugh Gavin both scored twice with Tommy O'Brien notching up another two of his own. Thomas Clarkson also strolled in a try as Ireland went into the sheds 54-0 up. It was emblematic of proceedings when the TMO had to be stopped during the first half because communications went down, both conditions and intensity were not that of a test match level. Stuart McCloskey of Ireland scores his side's first try. Pic: David Fitzgerald/Sportsfile The scoring continued in the second half with Craig Casey crossing over after a minute with Cian Prendergast scoring twice as well as Calvin Nash, Ciaran Frawley, Alex Kendellen, Ben Murphy and a penalty try helping Ireland record their record win (previous record was 83-3 against USA in 2003) and most tries in a single test with 15 (previous being 12 from that same game). Another week, another debutant winger impressing and this time it's Connacht's Shayne Bolton. The South African-born winger with an Irish granny hasn't had the easiest time in Ireland as he's dealt with a lot of injury issues but when he's on form you can see why the IRFU worked hard to bring him over. He has a great blend of size and speed that Ireland don't always produce. At just 25, if he can stay fit and get into some form he could be the next-in-line for that 11 jersey. Shayne Bolton of Ireland on his way to scoring. Pic: David Fitzgerald/Sportsfile He was unfortunate to not get a mention last week but Jimmy O'Brien was back to his best on Saturday. It was a very low level but of competition O'Brien still looked very good on the pitch. He fielded well and when he stepped into the line he linked up well out wide. As ever with these Leinster players you want to see them play more for their club side but it's still great to see that when called upon they're still able to step up and perform with ease. Jimmy O'Brien of Ireland is tackled by Diego Pinheiro Ruiz. Pic: David Fitzgerald/Sportsfile At times it was like watching men against boys at times in this game and Jack Crowley was symbolic of that. Seemingly always having time on the ball, Crowley showed off his highlight reel of tricks throughout as he sliced and diced the Portuguese defence. It was clear to see that Crowley was a step above. The only thing he would take from the game is the solid kicking practice he got, slotting 12 of the 15 conversions taken over. It'll be hard to take much else out of this game but it's good to see so many youngsters make their breaks into the International scene and express themselves. They approached both games as they were Test matches and did two professional jobs, with minimal injuries coming out of it too you can say it's a job well done for Paul O'Connell and co.

Pumped up Eddie Hearn leads sing-song as Katie Taylor has her say
A jovial Eddie Hearn kickstarted a sing-song in honour of Katie Taylor after her impressive victory against Amanda Serrano, and the Bray boxer only had nice things to say about his singing abilities. The pair teamed up in 2016 after Taylor inquired about turning pro. They have spent a remarkable nine years working together, during which time he has helped promote Taylor to become one of the biggest names in boxing. Throughout her professional career, Hearn has been ever-present with Team Taylor and walked out of Madison Square Garden on Friday night with a tri-colour draped around his neck. And after her win, an ecstatic Hearn led the famous Ole, ole, ole chant while wearing an Irish-branded bucket hat. Hearn playfully then put on an Irish accent, which Taylor described as 'spot on'. Hearn was less ecstatic when asked about Netflix's scoring of the event. The streaming giant scored the bout as a draw, but Taylor was scored a 97-93 winner on two of the three scorecards. "I mean, if you want to listen to Netflix scoring it 95-95 .... How can you give Serrano five rounds?" he told IFL. "If I was really, really, really generous, I give her three rounds. And after the seventh round, she was kind of... she was so deflated, she couldn't win a round. "Katie's feet were too fast, it was an absolute schooling. "Just a complete masterclass, so proud of her, she's the greatest female fighter of all time, 3-0." Taylor said post-fight that she still has dreams about fighting in Croke Park, and that seems like one of the few reasons Taylor has to fight again. Now 39, she ended the trilogy in the most convincing of fashions. A trilogy bout against Chantelle Cameron could possibly be her next move but Taylor did say she would take time to decide her future.

Katie Taylor full of praise for 'genius' father Pete after Amanda Serrano win
Katie Taylor was full of praise for her father Pete as she secured a decisive third victory over Amanda Serrano in front of a packed Madison Square Garden. The Bray boxer won via majority decision in the most clear-cut victory of the trilogy, a vintage performance. Taylor is trained full-time by Ross Enamait, but did reunite with her father Pete for parts of her preparations and was asked about his influence. Speaking to IFL TV, she said: "He was a big part of this camp and [I'm] super grateful. Obviously, Ross was always super. Between Ross and my Dad, I have the best people in my corner, the two best I could ever ask for. Genius coaches." Katie and Pete endured a rocky relationship following his split with Katie's mother, Bridget, in 2016, with their working relationship coming to an end. Katie would eventually team up with Enamait and move to the United States full-time to pursue her blossoming professional career. The pair patched things up in 2019, and Pete shared videos on social media of the two of them in training as he helped with her preparations. Taylor was ecstatic in her post-fight interview, where she praised the Irish support at Madison Square Garden. "Thank God, another great win," she said. "It was a clear victory, and I was able to box a bit smarter tonight. "Even at the public weigh-in, I couldn't believe the amount of Irish people that were there. I knew it was going to be jammed, listening to the crowd, it gives you goosebumps. People are spending their hard-earned money to support me, it means so much to me. "Like I said, I represent my country every time I step into that ring and it's amazing they are all here to support me." Taylor silenced any of the few remaining critics with her performance in Madison Square Garden on Friday night. The Olympic Gold medal winner scored a 97-93 win on two of the judges' scorecards as she took a more disciplined approach to her trilogy bout. Criticised for leading with the head in their second bout, Taylor did not get involved in a brawl against Serrano and used her exquisite skill to earn a patient points victory. Now 39, Taylor said that she will make her decision on her future in the coming weeks but with the big-money bouts against Serrano now over it seems like an ideal time to hang up the gloves. If Taylor is to fight again, the most logical next match-up would be a trilogy bout against Chantelle Cameron in Dublin.
