'The best night of my career'
"Thank you, I'm so grateful," Taylor told BBC Five Live. "Just an amazing night, the best night of my career so far. I'm so glad I got a second chance here.
"Every time I fight here the support is amazing. They kept me going tonight, especially the latter half of the fight.
"I was very confident stepping in here and I'm so grateful I was able to pull it off.
"A lot of pressure going into this fight, it was the longest six months waiting for this rematch. I had sleepless nights thinking about the loss, I'm so glad I was able to avenge that.
"This is what dreams are made of. This is more than a dream."
