Taylor had flown to Las Vegas to be front row for Conor Benn's unanimous decision win over Peter Dobson.

The 37-year-old was meeting with her promoter Eddie Hearn presumably to discuss what comes next in her iconic fighting career.

However, she also got to experience U2 in full effect at the iconic 'Sphere' venue.

The arena boasts an immersive, panoramic LED backdrop, which allows for the projection of different sights and scenery on the venue walls.

The technology was on display during U2's latest performance which was captured and shared by Taylor to her Instagram story.

Among the many projections was the Sin City landscape, and giant, holographic representations of Bono and The Edge.

Between Benn vs Dobson and the concert, it made for a very busy Saturday night for the Bray woman.

Naturally, she was quizzed on her own future during a chat with DAZN, the streaming service carrying the night's fight action.

Taylor has been linked with a blockbuster trilogy against Chantelle Cameron after beating her to become two-weight undisputed champion back in November.

The hope is that her next bout will once again be against the Northampton, with Croke Park the potential venue for it.

However, the 37-year-old admitted she is dreaming of stepping in the ring for a headliner at Las Vegas.

She said: "I would absolutely love to fight here someday.

"To headline a a huge show here in Vegas would be absolutely special. Vegas is nearly like the Mecca of boxing.

"This is where all the big fights happen. I have done Madison Square Garden. I've headlined the two shows back in Ireland but to headline somewhere here in Vegas would be very, very special as well."

As for who is next, KT will have plenty of options in terms of opponents.

However, a third bout against Cameron is the most likely, with it to take place - once again - at light welterweight.
