Taylor: It's the best versus the best

Katie Taylor says her showdown with Amanda Serrano this weekend will showcase the two best fighters in the sport in the historic clash at Madison Square Garden.

Taylor will put her undisputed world lightweight title on the line against the Puerto Rican seven-weight world champion in New York, the first time two female fighters will headline a card at the famous arena.

The pair appeared on the Today Show on NBC earlier today, where the mutual respect for each other was evident.

"We are obviously two great champions; like you said the best in the world facing each other," said. "We are going to do what we have to do to win the fight.

"We don't train to lose, we train to win fights. We are both great champions. One of the reasons why this fight is so special is because it is the best versus the best… in the world. It’s an amazing moment."
