Katie Taylor could be set to head up boxing’s first all-female professional boxing card, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.

There were jubilant scenes as boxer Katie Taylor arrived at her home town of Bray, Co Wicklow, last night, where she received a well-deserved hero’s welcome.

Ireland’s undisputed lightweight world champion Katie Taylor says a rematch with her beaten opponent is “inevitable” given the close nature of her victory last weekend.
