The Bray Bomber is to defend the super-lightweight belts she won against Chantelle Cameron last November against Amanda Serrano
Jason Quigley believes those criticising Katie Taylor 's decision to fight on the Mike Tyson v Jake Paul card are missing the point completely.
The Bray Bomber will defend the super-lightweight belts she won against Chantelle Cameron last November against Amanda Serrano at the home of the Dallas Cowboys in Texas this July ahead of boxing great Tyson's controversial bout against YouTuber turned boxer Paul. Taylor had been expected to fight in Dublin once again this summer, but has instead opted to face Puerto Rican Serrano in a rematch of their 2022 Madison Square Garden classic, a decision that has been questioned by many since the bout was announced last week.However, Donegal boxer Quigley thinks any fighter in the world would "take your hand off" to be on the card due to the huge purses on offer, with Taylor reportedly set to earn $6million for the fight.
Quigley told Balls.ie: "I see a lot of fighters out there giving out about and saying that they deserve so much more, they don't deserve to be on an undercard of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, but at the end of the day if you give any fighter in the world right now the opportunity to fight on this undercard live on Netflix and get the purse that Katie and Amanda and the other fighters are going to get on the undercard, they would take your hand off, I truly believe.
"These opportunities don't come around a lot in boxing unless you get that shot at a world title, you get this shot on a massive stage with a big promotion and not a lot of fighters get that opportunity, whereas one thing that Jake Paul is doing, he's giving so many fighters the opportunity to fight on good cards, to get recognised on live TV and to get well paid and I have to credit him for that.
