Still the main attraction

Nine months on from her golden summer at the Olympics in London, and boxer Katie Taylor’s star shines ever brighter in the eyes of the adoring Irish public.

Despite her fame the Bray puncher — who turns 27 tomorrow — remains as focused on the fight game as ever

American Queen Underwood came closest to beating Taylor at the 2010 world champion-ships in Barbados. Taylor is keen to fight her again, especially as they didn’t get to clash in London.
