After:
“I don’t exactly know,” Katie tells reporters after the fight, “she just got my fighting blood up. I was just not going to let her beat me. Every time she seemed to gain advantage, I found something inside me that helped me take it back. It felt really good to beat her down like that. I know it sounds bad, but honestly to prove I was the better woman tonight in front of all thesepeople—well, that’s why I got into boxing in the first place! What’s next for me? I have no idea, but I am open to all comers! Katie McGrath will take on anyone who dares to take her on!”

Not surprisingly, Eva Green only speak to press the next day and then only briefly: “It was very disappointing. I thought I had her, but I let her come back. I don’t remember too much about R6 or R7, but I remember losing and what a bitter feeling that is!”
