'Did ya enjoy that?' - Taylor revels in perfect ending

Taylor savored the perfect finish of her illustrious boxing career, having just completed a remarkable 30-year run. In the final 10 seconds of her last match, she decided to go all out, swinging wildly to leave everything on the mat. Despite her opponent's initial surprise, Taylor ultimately secured her victory and the adoration of the crowd.

After the fight, she embraced her opponent and looked up at the sky, knowing this marked the end of her long career. Taylor reflected on her 30 years in the ring, from her first time stepping into a boxing ring to this momentous occasion. She expressed no regrets, stating she wanted to leave it all in the ring and has no regrets looking back on her entire career.

Upon arriving for the press conference, Taylor was greeted with applause and seemed content to move on to retirement. Though she resisted attention and controversy, she acknowledged her enduring popularity, both in Ireland and abroad. Taylor's faith played a significant role in her life, providing strength during personal hardships, including the Rio Olympics and her loss to Chantelle Cameron.

She planned to continue being involved in boxing, possibly in a coaching role in Ireland, though she questioned whether her family would be on board with that move.
