Katie faces tough test in Youghal

KATIE TAYLOR puts the finishing touches to her preparations for the EU championships at the Night of Champions promoted by St John’s Boxing Club, Fermoy, at the Walter Raleigh Hotel, Youghal on Friday, May 6.

Pa Flynn, PRO and coach with St John’s, brought Taylor to Fermoy in 2005 when she turned in an explosive performance to stop Welsh champion, Lorna Cooper, in just 30 seconds.

Since then the Bray woman has gone on to win three world titles, four European championships and will be bidding for a fourth EU title in her next outing after Youghal.
