Katie to ponder offers to turn pro

Boxer Katie Taylor has received a number of offers to turn professional following her historic Olympic gold medal win in London earlier this month.

Taylor and her family depart on holidays later this week where they will decide if she remains amateur or joins the paid ranks.

However, the Bray woman, who met with UK and US promoters last week along with her father Peter, stressed she knows the challenges involved with a career in the professional game.
