Ring Queen Taylor planning Cork bout

Plans are afoot for Katie Taylor to fight in Cork at the end of the month, as the Olympic champion faces into a year where she hopes to defend her European and World titles.

The London 2012 lightweight gold medallist has fought in Dublin, Mayo and her hometown of Bray in the past 12 months and it is understood her camp will look to source foreign opponents for the proposed bouts on Leeside.

Finding fighters willing to climb into the ring with the multi-medallist hasn’t been easy, however, but the Taylor camp has made a point this last year of attempting to schedule appearances around the country.
