Katie Taylor to open boxing club after civic reception

ONE of Ireland’s best hopes for a gold medal at the 2012 Olympics in London is likely to be mobbed by autograph-hunters when she opens a boxing club in north Cork tonight.

Katie Taylor is to open the fledgling St John’s Boxing Club in Fermoy at 7.30pm.

An hour earlier, the 22-year-old Dubliner will receive a civic welcome from Fermoy Town Council.
