Katie Taylor is excited to experience the fervent Irish support when she takes on Cindy Serrano in Boston this weekend.
The lightweight sensation will put her WBA and IBF world titles on the line against Puerto Rican Serrano at the TD Garden, live on Sky Sports, as she fights stateside for the third time in her career.
Boston's large Irish community are expected to come out in droves in support of Taylor and the 32-year-old wants to put on a show and become a household name in the Massachusetts capital.
"I'm so excited about this fight," said Taylor.
"The fact it's in Boston means it's going to be like a home from home for me in there with all the Irish support.
