These two have had a long and storied rivalry outside the ring, inside the ring they have fought twice with Katy winning both fights.

The last time they fought was back in 2013, with Katy knocking out Taylor in eight rounds, something she will be aiming to do this around too.

The fighters meet at the press conference, going nose to nose at the face off, with Taylor holding the title up in her left hand as they trash talk.

Pulled apart by their coaches; they head off to their tables so they can talk to the press, though judging how they are stealing looks at each other already, they will mostly be focused on their rival.

Katy speaks first as she says "I have been working hard to get back into the title picture, I feel in great shape and this is my chance to remind you all why I am the best here"

Then she turns to Taylor, telling her "let's be totally honest, I own you in that ring, you have never beaten me and after this fight you still will have never beaten me as I take the title"

Taylor stares at the title before turning to Katy, telling her "that was in the past Katy, you had my number years ago but I am a lot better in the ring now, hell you have to beat me now, you don't own anything of me"

Lifting her title to face it towards her challenger, Taylor continues "you won't be holding this when we are done, I will have my foot on your tits as I hold it up for the world to see"

Smiling Katy shakes her head as she stands, telling Swift "you better sleep with that in your arms tonight, after the fight I will be taking it home" then heads off the stage as Taylor stares daggers at her.

Fight night; Katy comes out with Jewel Kilcher, she looks like she means business marching down to the ring with her eyes firmly on the ring itself.

She is wearing her usual red sports bra, matching trunks, gloves and shoes, her hair is tied into a braid for battle.

while her blonde hair is tied into a ponytail.
