Katie Taylor wants first ever pay-per-view female match against Delfine Persoon

Katie Taylor wants to take part in a first ever pay-per-view female boxing match against Delfine Persoon.

The Bray woman and the Belgian had the crowd at Madison Square Garden on their feet when Taylor won a thriller on points in June.

It was a controversial win for Taylor with many commentators believing that Persoon deserved to get the verdict.

And Taylor has revealed that a rematch to settle the score could take place as a pay-per-view event.

The former Olympic gold medallist said on Soccer AM of a potential rematch: "I hope so. There's talk of a rematch in Madison Square Garden."

"That's [a rematch] definitely going to happen again."

Taylor is unbeaten in fifteen professional bouts and despite her quiet demeanour, she revealed that she easily switches into fight mode.

"It's a completely natural switch for me. I am a very quiet person.

"But people see quietness as a weakness, I don't think it is.

"Also it's pretty easy when someone's trying to punch you in the face!"
