Promoter Eddie Hearn has said that no discussions have taken place regarding increased security for Katie Taylor's fight at the 3Arena following rioting in Dublin city centre last night.

Thirty-four people were arrested following violent disturbances. Earlier in the day, children were attacked outside a school in Parnell Square that has left a five-year-old girl in a critical condition.

Former Olympic champion Taylor will take on Chantelle Cameron for a make-or-break rematch at the 3Arena on Saturday night.

Speaking to RTÉ Sport ahead of the bout, Matchroom promoter Hearn said there has been no change in the security measures despite Friday night’s violence.

"No discussions yet," he confirmed. "If it’s needed, that will take place. Already, we have a big security presence in place, as always with our shows.

"At the moment there has been no additional conversations and everybody is just ready to move forward.

"Tomorrow night is a really important night for Irish sport and a massive night for an icon of Irish sport. I hope we can celebrate what will be a tremendous night with a great atmosphere."

Hearn also said that Conor McGregor will not be in attendance on Saturday night.

Conor McGregor is not expected to attend Taylor's fight

The company owned by the UFC star is one of the sponsors of the event, but the 35-year-old was criticised for comments posted on social media ahead of and during the riots in Dublin, with Tánaiste Micheál Martin labelling them "absolutely disgraceful".

Asked whether McGregor, a prominent figure for Taylor’s first homecoming contest, had become an overbearing presence for the rematch, Hearn said: "He’s not attending the event.

"He hasn’t planned to. It’s Katie’s night of course. Our focus is just on delivering a great event."

Taylor says she has never felt more motivated as she bids to gain revenge over Cameron in their undisputed world light-welterweight title rematch.

Taylor suffered the first defeat of her career by majority decision to Cameron in May and will head into the ring in the unusual role of underdog in front of her home city fans at the 3Arena.

But Taylor has taken heart from the belief that she did not perform to her best in the pair's first meeting, and that subsequent improvements will be enough to inflict a first career defeat upon Cameron.

"I don’t think I’ve ever been this motivated for a fight," Taylor told DAZN. "I really just can’t wait to step in there and perform.

"I love my job and I love being involved in these big nights. I don’t mind being the underdog for this fight.

"I’ve obviously put the work in over the last few months, I’ve put my body in the trenches, and once I perform I think that’s going to be enough."

The pair each weighed in just under 140lbs light-welterweight limit on Friday, with Taylor, having moved up from the lightweight division where she still holds the undisputed crown, marginally the heavier of the two.
