Whatever floats your boat, right?
Katie Taylor is currently preparing for her third professional fight this weekend and her opponent has just been announced.
The Bray fighter will face Italy’s Monica Gentili on the undercard of the eagerly anticipated showdown between David Haye and Tony Bellew at London’s O2 Arena.
The sold-out fight will attract up to 20,000 spectators so it will undoubtedly be an incredible experience for Taylor to fight in such a stage.
Taylor is also expected to fight on the undercard of the world heavyweight title fight between Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko in Wembley on April 29.
It’s safe to say that Taylor has a busy couple of weeks ahead of her as she looks to prolong her unbeaten professional career in the hope of achieving a world title shot by the end of the year.
Taylor’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has just released footage of the 30-year-old in a recent sparring session and we must say she looks very sharp ahead of her upcoming bout.
Though when we were watching the footage we noticed something odd about the background music which is playing in the gym while she conducts her work in the ring.
Percy Sledge’s ‘When a Man Loves a Woman’.
Look, it’s an absolute classic but it wouldn’t be on our playlist on the rare occasions that we go to the gym.
But hey, who are we to argue with Taylor, based on the evidence in the footage below, she is primed and ready to win her third professional bout.
