Katie Taylor boxes clever over Billy Joe Saunders’ sexist remark

Katie Taylor managed to pull her punches but still land a knockout blow to middleweight WBO title challenger Billy Joe Saunders’ below-the-belt sexist attack on women’s boxing.

In an interview on the iFL TV YouTube channel, Saunders, who will take on Andy Lee in Thomond Park in September, aired his views, saying: “I think women are there for sex every night; hard sex. Cleaning, cooking, washing, and sex. They’re not there to put on headgear and get punched. That’s my opinion on women, but I’m just a sex maniac.”
