Katie Taylor has revealed her lofty career goals in an interview following her Madison Square Garden win last night.

The Bray native saw off Eva Wahlstrom in her fourth win this year, becoming the first Irish boxer to successfully defend a world title in Madison Square Garden .

Speaking after the fight, she told interviewers:

“I thought it was very good performance.

“Eva is a tough competitor and we prepared for a difficult fight. It is a privilege to fight in Madison Square Garden with all these Irish fans here.”

“The goal now is to become the undisputed lightweight champion of the world.”

“I want all four titles next year. It was amazing to perform like that in front of an amazing crowd at a great venue like Madison Square Garden.”

But first, the 32-year-old is planning a chilled out Christmas at home.

She went on:

“Now I’m going back to Ireland for Christmas. I haven’t been home for six months and I’m looking forward to seeing my niece and my family. I’m looking forward to be a break now and then get back in the ring in the New Year.”
