One day…
You don’t need to tell anyone in this part of the world that Katie Taylor is phenomenal.
She knows it, we know it and Eddie Hearns knows it.
That’s why he’s been getting her on some seriously impressive undercards including Anthony Joshus vs. Wladimir Klitschko in Wembley Stadium.
Well, after last night’s stellar performance it seems as if Taylor will be getting herself a world title shot.
She's not just a superstar, she's OUR superstar https://t.co/POxaFJ9JkD

The Bray fighter is 6-0 since turning professional after Olympic heartbreak in Rio and has been trodding along nicely under the guidance of Hearn and he has long hinted that she will be getting a world title shot by the end of 2017.
All us Irish fans had hoped that she would be getting that title shot in Dublin in front of a packed crowd but it is now not looking likely.
Eddie Hearn’s latest comments mean it is looking likely that Taylor will be fighting on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko II.
Katie Taylor's world title fight potentially on Joshua-Klitschko II card, speaks @EddieHearn. Vegas the likely venue. Hmm. Interesting

The Olympic gold medallist was on the undercard when the two fighters squared off back in April as she convincingly beat Nina Meinke to win the vacant WBA Inter-Continental lightweight title and it is now likely that she’ll get another spot on an Eddie Hearn stacked card.
