I’m not going to talk down to Katie, as I know she won’t to me. So I’ll leave it at this: one thing that’s for sure is that we’ll both leave it all in the ring. Thanks to my Promoter Lou DiBella, Eddie Hearn, Matchroom Boxing, DAZN & Katie Taylor for this great opportunity. See you in Manchester!” ~Amanda Serrano, seven-weight world champion
