Katie Taylor v Miriam Gutierrez press conference live stream ahead of world title fight

A press conference for Katie Taylor's world title defence against Miriam Gutierrez takes place this afternoon.

It will also feature fighters on the undercard and is being streamed live online by Matchroom Boxing and gets underway at 2pm. You can view the video at the top of this article.

Speaking ahead of Saturday's fight, Taylor said: "I am expecting a very tough fight. She can be very tricky at times and very awkward as well. These are the types of fighters who are very hard to look well against at times.

"But I come into this fight prepared for anything that comes my way. I'm prepared to go into the trenches if need be.

"I prepare for every fight to be my toughest fight and this is no different."

She added: "Every fight is more experience and I think this opponent in particular is very different to any of my other opponents that I have fought.

"I think she's actually a lot better than what people think. I think she's a lot trickier than what people think as well.

"Obviously the last few fights I've faced typical fighters, very scrappy fighters and this particular opponent is more stylistic than what I faced before so it is going to be a completely different challenge.

"I know from watching her in some of her previous fights that she is more of a boxer than a fighter. I'm not too sure if that's going to change on Saturday night, but I'm well prepared for whatever comes my way."

Meanwhile, Gutierrez said she sees no weaknesses in the Bray fighter.

She told The Irish Mirror: "I don't see any weaknesses in her at all. I think it's impossible to see any in her. I just have pure admiration for her and I'm looking forward to getting in the ring to fight."

She added: "It's a really lovely moment and event and it's just about enjoying it now.

"I think for this fight to have been arranged and to go ahead means that I've got the qualities that will make it a good fight.

"I always look to create something that is beautiful, that is lovely, whether it's being tactical or whatever. Just something that can look good and I can enjoy myself and entertain."
