Farrell is a huge boxing fan, and gushed about Taylor’s technique to Sky Sports before the match.
“She’s an animal,” he said. “She is absolutely incredible.”
She’s such a strong-willed, but incredibly technical fighter. Her shots to the body are like nothing I’ve ever seen, her combinations are incredible, her heart is unquestionable… so we’ll see.

Joining him in wishing her well were President Michael D Higgins, her former teammate Stephanie Roche, Barry McGuigan, and WWE’s Sheamus:
“May I offer my sincere congratulations to Katie Taylor on her first world title in professional boxing.”
