One more tune. It is fight week and everything Katie Taylor does is laden with that reality. In a bid to avenge her homecoming loss and prolong a truly great Irish sporting career, the 37-year-old is determined to keep her head down and do her talking on Saturday.

Doing so in the capital and in an era where she is the most cherished sporting personality in Ireland is no mean feat. At the public workout in Liffey Valley on Wednesday, Taylor timed her appearance to perfection. No waiting around. As minimal media as possible. Some unavoidable posing and pictures with adoring fans but within minutes security forms a scrum around her and sweeps through the mob.
