In a shocking turn of events, boxing champion Katie Taylor has revealed why she took a dive in her third bout against Amanda Serrano, claiming that Serrano “needs this fight more than I do.”
In an exclusive interview with The Onion Ring, Taylor explained, “I mean, let’s be real here. Amanda is out here hustling, trying to make a name for herself in the boxing world. Meanwhile, I’ve already got a closet full of belts and a lucrative endorsement deal with Shamrock Shakes. I’m basically set for life.”
When asked about her decision to throw the fight, Taylor responded with a wink and a smile, saying, “Hey, I’ve gotta keep things interesting, right? Plus, Amanda was looking a little down in the dumps lately. I figured a win would give her the confidence boost she needs to keep going.”
Serrano, on the other hand, was not amused by Taylor’s explanation. “Are you kidding me? I’ve been training my butt off for this fight, and now Katie thinks she can just hand me a victory like it’s a participation trophy? No way, Jose!”
In response to Serrano’s comments, Taylor simply shrugged and said, “Hey, if she wants a real challenge, she can always try her luck against my little sister, Jenny ‘The Jester’ Taylor. She’s undefeated in thumb wrestling.”
Despite the controversy surrounding the fight, Taylor remains unfazed. “At the end of the day, it’s all just a big joke, isn’t it? I mean, we’re literally punching each other in the face for sport. If that’s not funny, I don’t know what is.”
So there you have it, folks. Katie Taylor may have taken a dive in her third bout against Amanda Serrano, but at least she did it with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. And who knows, maybe this whole thing was just a setup for the ultimate showdown between Taylor and her thumb wrestling champion sister. Only time will tell.
