Katie Taylor says she has tired of “groans and complaining” by Amanda Serrano after their two tight confrontations.
The rivals met face to face at a press conference in New York on Wednesday before their third highly anticipated fight on Friday.
Taylor said: “The fact is that I am 2-0 against her. Opinions are opinions, but the facts are facts. I’m just sick of the complaints and groans of your team.”
Taylor defeated Serrano for the last time by unanimous decision in Texas in November, the three judges marking the 95-94 fight in favor of the Irish fighter.
But the controversy broke out after the fight when the Puerto Rican star used his interview on Netflix to accuse Taylor of an intentional head of head.
“The only thing that matters is that I am 2-0 against her,” said Taylor. “I plan to stay undefeated against her.”

Katie Taylor says she hopes to put an “exclamation brand” at the end of the fight against Amanda Serrano.
Serrano and Taylor will meet for the third time at Madison Square Garden.
When asked what she had planned to improve the last revenge match, Serrano said: “I’m going to use my head, but not the way it was used.
“We are going to be smarter, working more intelligently. I have worked much smarter for this fight and I think we can go out victorious. We will come out victorious.”
During their last fight, Serrano received a bad cut over his eye in the fourth round, which was attributed to an accidental whim.
Taylor was deducted a point in the eighth round after being warned several times against the head with his head.
