Katie Taylor's mam clashes with Amanda Serrano fan after being heckled during interview

Katie Taylor's mam clashed with an Amanda Serrano fan after being heckled during an interview after the Madison Square Garden bout.

The Bray fighter created history as she defended her world titles in the world's most famous arena in a split decision win.

And as the crowd emptied, Bridget stopped for an interview with Fight Hub TV.

And Speaking to the YouTube channel, she said: "I think it was a fantastic fight, I think the two girls are winners in this fight and I think what it has done for women's boxing is incredible."

But as the interviewed went on an Amanda Serrano fan piped in behind Bridget, saying: "Boricuas won tonight. You robbed us, we got robbed."

And Bridget then turned to the fan and said: "You must be blind - love - you must be blind. Blind, blind - don't mind these people.”

Bridget then joined in as Irish fans started signing 'there's only one Katie Taylor' before following up saying: "Go on into the losers' dressing room and tell them, go into the losers' dressing room and tell them."

Taylor won the bout in a split decision in front out of a sold out Madison Square Garden and could now be in line for a super-fight in Croke Park.
