Katie Taylor says that last night's victory over Chantelle Cameron was the highlight of her pro career, but promoter Eddie Hearn says that the best is yet to come.
The Bray woman took the fight on a majority decision to avenge May's defeat at the same venue. Going into the bout as the outsider, Taylor reminded everyone of why she's considered one of Ireland's greatest boxers ever with a controlled performance.
"It definitely feels like the greatest night of my career so far," she said afterwards.
"It was the longest six months waiting for this rematch. Over the last few months I've been going to bed thinking about this rematch.
"The pressure over the last few months, everyone writing me off... I can't believe so many people were writing me off, to be honest. This win meant so much to me, a two-weight undisputed champion in front of my home crowd.
"Coming off a loss you have to go the extra mile in training. Over the last few months I've put my body though torture in preparation for this rematch.
"We knew we were going to be well prepared stepping in here but I was nearly half-offended that people were writing me off so much. It's great to prove people wrong and I'm back on top again.
"It was definitely a special night."
Cameron did not speak to the media after her defeat but thanked fans for travelling to support her in a post on Instagram on Sunday morning.
She wrote: "Genuinely thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who flew over to Ireland to come and support me spending your well earned money before Christmas. I appreciate it so much. Sorry it wasn't the night everyone had planned"
On what might come next, Taylor was clear that she would love a big fight at Croke Park, with Cameron her likely opponent once more.
"I don't think women's boxing has seen a trilogy before," she pointed out.
"One of my favourite fighters is Marco Antonio Barrera. Barrera-[Erik] Morales is the best trilogy you could ever see so if we could have that type of trilogy it would be absolutely iconic for the sport.
"Even better if we did get it in Croke Park, 80,000 people. That's the stadium we've all wanted for the homecoming so that would be absolutely amazing if that happened."
For Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn, Croke Park is the target for Taylor's next bout, although a deal to use the stadium could not be agreed this year.
The GAA told RTÉ Sport in February that the cost security at the venue would be too high after Matchroom had claimed that using Wembley Stadium would only cost a third of the north Dublin venue.
Hearn says that either Cameron or Amanda Serrano will be the likely opponent for Taylor.
"The support of Ireland, and the gates that we've registered here, have enabled us to make mega fights and start to get to the levels that these great fighters deserve," he said.
"We can do that in Ireland. There's not many places that we can do that. This is Katie's third successive seven-figure sell-out gate - Madison Square Garden, and now twice at the 3Arena.
"You can count on one hand the draws in boxing the size of Katie Taylor; it's Canelo [Alvarez], it's AJ [Anthony Joshua], it's [Tyson] Fury and it's Katie Taylor - that's it globally.
"If we want to reach those levels financially, and pay fighters what they deserve, we need to hit huge gates. And Katie Taylor draws huge gates, especially in Ireland.
"My first thoughts are that if we're going (with) Croke Park, which we'll do everything we can to, Chantelle Cameron is the pick for the trilogy."
On getting agreement on use of the venue, Heard adds that the GAA must meet them in the middle when it comes to the cost of the venue.
"I feel like everyone has got to put the pressure on. From the country, to politicians, to the sport. We can make a financial case on the tourism of why an event like this would be a huge success for this country.
"If they can't also understand the compassionate side of giving this night, and this event, to their greatest ever athlete then I don't really know what we're doing.
"We're not even asking for favours. All we're asking for is the costs to be in line with the biggest stadiums in the world where we hold boxing. We don't want a free stadium - although if they want to give us one, that'd be marvellous.
"All we're saying is to make it there or thereabouts of Wembley, Millennium Stadium or Dallas Cowboys. Shouldn't we all work together? What a moment that would be.
"Did you see that tonight, and that was only 9,000 [spectators]. The difference about going to Croke Park is that we can make it more accessible to people.
"The tickets are expensive tonight and not everybody can go. You go to the shopping centre and you've got all generations. When you can have €30 tickets, or cheaper, and 10,000 of them, it's going to be a massive celebrations for generations to come in this country.
"It's great to drive a big gate at the 3Arena but even if it's a similar gate with 60,000. To see those people come out would be a visual moment that this country would never forget."
