No time for trash talk: For Katie Taylor, everything revolves around how she does in the ring. In recent months, unbeaten British prospect Chantelle Cameron, the current WBC super lightweight world champion, has repeatedly goaded Taylor. Taylor never engages in the kind trash talk so beloved by most of her contemporaries in the sport. When asked about Cameron's comment at a Zoom conference the other day, she paused for a second before remarking: "I'm not the type of fighter that crumbles." Eight years down the road, Taylor is not just the highest-paid female fighter in combat sport she is the most influential as well.
