Oh, and sleep rituals? Consider them upgraded.
And speaking of power moves, Katie Taylor just did it again. Sealing her trilogy win against Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden, she reminded the world what elite looks like. Legacy-defining. History-making. All in a day’s work for a champion woman. Let’s get into it.👇🏽
