Eddie Hearn says Katie Taylor has received the respect and adulation of the boxing world ahead of her lightweight title fight with Victoria Noelia Bustos, live on Sky Sports.
Taylor will take on her Argentine opponent in the WBA and IBF unifier at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Hearn describes the match-up as a 'legacy fight' for Taylor but insists the Irishwoman is the most exciting female boxer in the world right now.
"Fans here have been turning out to watch her, the media have been all over her and it is so rewarding to see the adulation, the attention, the respect that Katie Taylor is getting from the world of boxing right now," Hearn told Sky Sports News.
"As far as I am concerned, she is the standout female fighter right now in women's world boxing."
