Katie Taylor has admitted she will need to alter her approach when aiming to gain retribution against undisputed super-lightweight champion Chantelle Cameron in Dublin on 25 November.
Taylor and Cameron came face to face again today for the first time since a memorable night at the 3 Arena in May in which the Bray boxer suffered a first defeat of her career.
Amid a partisan atmosphere and a long-awaited homecoming for Taylor to Ireland, Cameron produced a more composed and clinical performance to win on majority decision.
Taylor opted to invoke a rematch clause to try to avenge the defeat, feeling the challenge of moving up in weight to beaten Cameron is not beyond her.
Speaking at a press conference in the capital, Taylor said: "I'm expecting the best of Chantelle. I'm expecting an improved Chantelle and I'm obviously expecting to improve as well. I'm going to have to adjust, make a few improvements, but I believe I will win this fight.
"We're both stepping into the ring super confident we can come out with a win.
"It doesn't matter to me if I'm underdog or favourite or if my name is on the left side or right side of a poster. My mindset is the same.
"We always train to win and I'm willing to push myself to the brink to do that. I have no problem being in the trenches. The last fight was a fantastic fight.
"It was very, very close and we have a chance to step into the ring and do it again. I'm very, very confident if I perform to my best I will win this fight, regardless of who is on the other side. I will win if I'm at my very best."
Cameron, however, is certain she will repeat her win and this time do so in a more dominant manner.
She assertively claimed Taylor is unable to hurt her with any shot – something which Taylor also claimed of her opponent – and said motivation for her has changed to ending doubts over who is the better fighter.
"I can walk Katie down. I have that confidence and I have to make sure I move my head a bit more and I have my defence, the champion said.
"At the same time I'm not worried I'm going to get stopped. I'm making sure I'm a lot better because I know I still have more gears.
"I have to be more aggressive I think. In the first fight I showed her too much respect. It was a weird night because I didn't feel I had that spite in me.
"I am better when I have a bit of beef between my teeth and I have that spite. I have that now because I know there's a massive job on my hands. I want to win in a better fashion."
Victory has made Cameron an established star in boxing with the potential of more super fights to come, whether that be a trilogy with Taylor or unifying another division.
In overcoming trailblazer Taylor, a career goal was achieved for the Northampton fighter.
Now she is looking for a performance to add even more credit to her name.
"It was the first fight I had where I thought 'Wow. I've just beaten Katie Taylor'.
"I had other wins where it hasn't really fazed me. Beating Katie Taylor (was different) because I always wanted that fight. It was like if you've beaten Katie Taylor you've completed boxing because she is a such a great fighter.
"That has been and done now though. I've beaten her and now I have to do it again. Now it's about me improving and me being better. Everything has to change for me and a change of my mindset."
The location of the fight was not determined in the rematch clause. Matchroom Boxing – the promotional company of both fighters - opted for Dublin given the large gate receipts that will be generated again from the 9,000 crowd.
The first fight was the highest-grossing event ever at the venue, with the rematch expected to sell out in minutes on Tuesday for an occasion that could possibly signal the end of the road for Taylor or add another dimension to her legacy and achievements within the sport.
