Katie Taylor believes she is in a better place than her last bout with Chantelle Cameron ahead of the rematch between the pair at the 3 Arena this weekend.
The Bray woman lost her undefeated professional record in the original fight, with her opponent winning on a majority decision. The rematch will take place on Saturday evening, with many expecting a similar result.
Katie Taylor will enter this fight as an underdog, a title she has rarely been given during her amateur or pro careers. However, the size advantage held by Cameron at the super-lightweight divisions is something most commentators feel is too much to overcome for the Irishwoman.
In saying that, she is backing herself to get the job done.

I'm very, very grateful for this opportunity again. I have a second chance here.
I just can't wait to fight at this stage, whether I'm seen as the underdog or the favourite, whoever walks to the ring first or second, all that stuff is irrelevant.
I'm just excited and hungry for the rematch. I can't wait to step in there on Saturday and perform the way I know I can.
Without a doubt I feel a lot better this time around.
I just can't wait to step in there, there's nothing else to say really. I can't wait to fight.
I hate all the talk, I hate all these press conferences. There's nothing to say, I'm just ready to fight at this stage.
I'm excited for it and very. very grateful to have this opportunity. I'm just ready.
Never one to big herself up, it is massively encouraging to hear that Katie Taylor feels she is in a better position to emerge victorious against Chantelle Cameron on the second attempt.
Here's hoping she can get the job done.
