Katie Taylor v Delfine Persoon and Dillian Whyte v Alexander Povetkin press conference live stream

The press conference for this weekend's boxing action takes place on Thursday afternoon.

Katie Taylor faces Delfine Persoon in a highly anticipated rematch at Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Fight Camp in Brentwood, Essex on Saturday night.

The lightweight bout sees the Bray fighter put her belts on the line against the Belgian and comes on the undercard of the heavyweight showdown between Dillian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin.

All four of the above fighters are set to attend today's press conference, which is due to get underway at 1pm.

Speaking earlier this week, Taylor admitted she hopes to win this fight " lot more convincingly" than her first bout against Persoon.

She said: "I’m the champion going into the ring, I do perform very well under pressure and I always think I have a lot to lose going into the ring.

"But we are both going in to win the fight - and we both believe we can win the fight. 

"That’s why it’s going to be such a fantastic fight - you have two fighters going into the ring who believe they are going to win.  That’s what makes the best fights in boxing.

“I want to be the best of all time. The first fight was very, very close - and the second fight, I hope to clear any doubts and win it a lot more convincingly."
