Katie Taylor knows she can't go on forever, but the undisputed lightweight champion isn't planning on retiring anytime soon.
Ireland's golden girl faces Natasha Jonas on the undercard of the heavyweight showdown between Dereck Chisora and Joseph Parker in Manchester on Saturday in what will be her 18th fight since turning professional less than five years ago.
Taylor turns 35 in July, but believes she can continue fighting for another few years.
She said: "I don't think I'm thinking about retirement as of yet, but obviously I can't do this forever as well.
"I know that I only have a few years left in the sport, but right now I feel very fresh and I feel quite good.
"I obviously still love my job as well and that's what motivates me. I still actually love this job. I'm still not tired of getting up in the mornings and doing the roadwork for example, but I just want to continue to improve.
"It would be amazing to become a multiple weight undisputed champion if that's a possibility.
"I just want to be involved in the biggest fights possible and I just want to continue to tear down those barriers."
A victory over Jonas could lead to Taylor getting the opportunity to become a multiple weight champion against Jessica McCaskill this summer.
The Bray boxer defeated the American back in 2017, but McCaskill looks a much better fighter now after beating Cecilia Braekhus twice in the past eight months.
Eddie Hearn has previously suggested that Taylor could step up in weight to fight the undisputed welterweight champion and you would expect all roads to lead to that fight if Taylor has her hand raised in victory on Saturday.
Jonas' coach Joe Gallagher has claimed that Taylor has shown "vulnerability", adding that the Liverpudlian is being primed for a knockout win
But the undefeated Taylor hit back at those comments and warned him that he won't get under her skin.
She added: "I don't feel any pressure at all. I look at those performances [against Delfine Persoon] as great victories. The first fight was a lot closer, but I think I showed in the first fight that I have a lot of heart and a lot of grit and determination and I came out with a gruelling win.
"The second fight was obviously a lot more clearcut, a great performance, and I felt really good after that fight. I don't feel under pressure at all.
"I guess there's pressure going into every fight because I'm aware that a lot of the time I am the favourite for these fights, but that's a good thing as well. I think pressure's a privilege."
On Gallagher's comments, she said: "I don't think anyone can get under my skin to be quite honest. I'm not that type of person to be offended in any way.
"Regardless of what's being said before the fight, it's going to be settled on the actual night by the sweet science of boxing. It's not going to be settled by what's being said beforehand. I just focus on the actual fight itself."
