    'The Greatest of All-Time' Katie Taylor has lifted the lid on her future plans, speaking for the first time since her epic trilogy triumph over Amanda Serrano.
    In Episode 2 of our revamped Flash Knockdown show, the legendary Irish fighter exclusively reveals her desire to fight on and land a dream homecoming fight at Croke Park.
    The two-weight Undisputed great talks to Matchroom Boxing's Jamie Ward in her first interview since beating Serrano for a third time back in July, which is available to watch across our YouTube or listen via Apple or Spotify now.
    "It was a great way to cap off the trilogy," said Taylor. 
    "They have been three history making fights. I have the upmost respect for Amanda.
    "The one fight I really, really want is at Croke Park. That would top off my career so well. There's been so much talk over the past few years but I'm still clinging onto the hope that one day I can fight there, it would be the icing on the cake for me."
    Also on the show is Dalton Smith who discusses his upcoming WBC World Super Lightweight Title tilt, The 'Romford Bull' Johnny Fisher on new beginnings under new trainer Tony Sims, British Welterweight Champion Conah Walker makes it clear he wants to fight Pat McCormack next and Matchroom CEO Frank Smith joins us for a catch-up on various topics, as we look ahead to this Saturday's historic all-Irish IBF World Welterweight Title fight between Lewis Crocker and Paddy Donovan in Belfast.

    SELECTED KATIE TAYLOR QUOTES FROM EPISODE TWO
    On what she has done since defeating Amanda Serrano:
    "I've just been relaxing at home with family. Life has been as normal as it can be since. It was a great night at MSG and great to reflect." 

    Her verdict on Serrano trilogy:
    "It was a great way to cap off the trilogy. I knew I had the potential and ability to make it easier for myself, I'm so glad I showed that with my boxing skills. It wasn't a war this time, I came out unscathed.

    "My name will be embedded with Amanda's [Serrano] forever. They have been three history making fights. I have the upmost respect for her."

    On her future:
    "The one fight I really, really want is at Croke Park. That would top off my career so well. There's been so much talk over the past few years but I'm still clinging onto the hope that one day I can fight there, it would be the icing on the cake for me."

    On what she expects from Crocker vs Donovan II:
    "The first all-Irish World Title fight is amazing. The last fight ended so controversially, the clash of styles between [Lewis] Crocker and [Paddy] Donovan is very interesting. I can't wait for it."

    On the one to watch for the future of female Boxing: 
    "Tiah-Mai Ayton is a generational talent. In my opinion she will go on to become the greatest of all time. I think she is very, very special. I've never seen a female fighter like her before. This girl is very special."

    "Everyone is beatable" is a cliché often used in boxing, and the majority of the time it's pretty accurate.
    Only legends like Joe Calzaghe, Andre Ward, Floyd Mayweather Jr and Rocky Marciano have retired without a blemish on their record.
    In this day and age though, with participation in the sport as high as it's ever been, it's rare.
    However, if there is one man — or probably two, when you throw Oleksandr Usyk into the mix — who looks a near enough dead cert to hang the gloves up without a loss on his record, it's Japanese superstar Naoya Inoue.
    30 fights, 30 wins, 27 by way of stoppage — there's a reason why he's known as "The Monster."
    A four-weight world champion and a two-weight undisputed champion, not even Andrew Lloyd Webber could write a fairytale like this.
    Having beaten the likes of Nonito Donaire, Stephen Fulton, TJ Doheny and Luis Nery, he now comes up against arguably the toughest opponent of his career this weekend in Uzbek Murodjon Akhmadaliev.
