Will Conor McGregor be at Katie Taylor’s rematch with Chantelle Cameron? UFC superstar’s company erect 14-foot statue of boxer ahead of bout

Conor McGregor and Katie Taylor’s relationship is well known, with the UFC superstar regularly providing support to the boxing star.

‘Notorious’ has praised Taylor many times for her achievements in the ring and the Irish pair have a huge respect for one another. 

But ahead of the 37-year-old’s second fight against the undisputed super-lightweight champion Cameron, McGregor’s support has gone up a notch. 

His company, Forged Irish Stout, is sponsoring the bout and they have erected a 14-foot statue of Taylor named ‘Katie The Redeemer’ on Bray Head in Ireland. 

The statue is another show of respect from McGregor and he may be ringside this weekend…

Will McGregor be at Taylor's rematch? 

McGregor is expected to be in attendance at Taylor vs Cameron 2. 

The UFC star was ringside for the first fight between the two that saw Taylor be handed her first career defeat. 

Forged Irish Stout also sponsored that bout, so with there being a similar deal sorted for the rematch, McGregor is likely to be in the building. 

Taylor will be boosted by having ‘Notorious’ at the fight, with the boxing legend appreciating the support she receives. 

Speaking earlier this year before the first fight against Cameron, she said: “It's amazing. Conor McGregor's obviously a big name here. 

“He definitely is crazier. We have different personalities, but he's obviously a very proud Irishman as well.

“So, it's great to get the support from him for this event as a whole."

And Taylor has that support again, with the 14-foot statue showing McGregor’s commitment to celebrating her success in the ring. 

Forged Irish Stout spokesperson Doug Leddin has spoken about why they decided to create the statue ahead of the rematch. 

Leddin said: “Bray will inevitably get a more permanent Katie Taylor statue but we felt the need to celebrate her with our ‘Katie the Redeemer’ tribute ahead of one of the biggest fights of her career.

"Like every Irish person we’re so proud of what Taylor has achieved and she’ll have the whole country in her corner when she steps into the ring this Saturday.”
