Katie Taylor took in Dmitry Bivol's shock win over Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
The Bray fighter was all smiles as she spoke to her promoter Eddie Hearn ahead of the bout at the T Mobile Arena, which Bivol won via unanimous decision.
And just one week on from her fight of the year contender battle with Amanda Serrano, the majority of Taylor's facial injuries suffered in the bout appeared to have cleared up.
The undisputed lightweight champion bled heavily from a cut above her eye during the ten-round contest, which she won via split decision.
Taylor was also badly bruised after the bout, with Hearn having to wipe blood from the left side of her face at one stage during the post-fight press conference.
Taylor is now targeting a rematch with Serrano at Croke Park later this year and admits it would be amazing to finally get the chance to fight in Dublin as a professional.
She said after the Madison Square Garden bout: "We all want to see the best vs the best. Yeah, absolutely, a rematch would be absolutely phenomenal.
"If it was in Dublin, we could sell out Croke Park, if you think the atmosphere was special here tonight, imagine the rematch in front of 80,000 people in Croke Park. Absolutely amazing."
Hearn admits it would be a shame if Taylor never got to fight in Dublin after he was blown away by the atmosphere created by Irish fans at MSG.
He added: "That felt like Croke Park there tonight, it was absolutely incredible. I am not sure we will get as many travelling Puerto Ricans but it has always been on our minds and it would feel a big shame if she didn’t get to fight in Ireland during her career. If we could do that, back-end of the summer.
"It was a tough fight, she is going to need some rest. Not too much rest knowing Katie, but it is certainly in the mind of us all."
The 2012 Olympic champion has never fought in Ireland as a professional and time is running out for it to happen.
No major professional boxing event has taken place in Dublin since David Byrne was shot dead at a boxing weigh-in at the Regency Hotel in 2016 when Daniel Kinahan was believed to be the main target.
US sanctions recently imposed on the mob boss have seen senior boxing figures distance themselves from him and Kinahan's exclusion from the sport could help a Dublin fight for Taylor to finally come to fruition.
And it would also be a fitting year for a fight to happen in the capital as this July marks 50 years since the great Muhammad Ali fought Al "Blue" Lewis at GAA headquarters.
