Irish fans will be able to watch Katie Taylor’s bid to claim a remarkable fifth straight AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championship belt after TG4 secured the rights to screen her semi-final and final bouts next month, if she gets to that stage.

Final preparations are being put in place for the screening of Katie Taylor's Olympic final in her hometown in Co Wicklow.

Tributes are being paid this morning to Irish boxer Katie Taylor who won her third successive World Boxing Championship title last night.
