Katie Taylor getting ready for Rio 2016

Katie Taylor’s brother Lee and Irish interim head coach Zaur Antia will be working her corner at the Mallow GAA Complex in Cork tonight.

The Olympic champion, once again minus her dad and long-term coach Pete, begins her journey toward the Rio Olympics with her first contest of 2016 versus Serbia’s Jelina Jelic on a Kanturk BC 16-bout fight night.

The four-rounder begins a weekend which sees Taylor face America’s Queen Underwood at the Mount Brandon Hotel in Tralee, Kerry tomorrow evening.
