Katie Taylor believes she has improved after her defeat to Chantelle Cameron.
Taylor is the undisputed lightweight champion but when she fought at super lightweight in May against Cameron, she suffered her first professional defeat.
Taylor is now preparing for a rematch on November 25, shown live on DAZN, and looking back on her defeat, she told BoxingScene.com that the defeat had caused her to examine her approach, and given her the opportunity to improve.
Asked if the defeat had helped her, she said: “I think so. I think failure causes you to analyze things a little bit more and that’s been the case for this fight.
“I think that’s where all the growth happens.
"Unfortunately, it has to be that way.
"When you suffer a loss, you’re forced to look at every single detail. In that aspect it’s always a good thing.
“I definitely feel like I’m a better boxer now than obviously the fight before and hopefully I can show what I can do on the actual night.”
