Katie Taylor prepared to go the ‘boring’ route

Katie Taylor is willing to deliver a Wladimir Klitschko-esque “boring” performance if needs be against Nina Meinke tonight, but the former Olympic champion admits she is hoping to let the undefeated German know “who’s boss” at Wembley Stadium.

The pair meet for the WBA inter-continental lightweight belt in a world-title eliminator tonight on the undercard of the world heavyweight championship clash between Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko.

With over 90,000 tickets sold and a significant portion of that crowd set to be present for Taylor’s bout, the Bray native’s Sky TV backers and Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Promotions will hope that their leading lady does not fail to fire on such a big stage - particularly since US broadcasters are likely to screen her bout.
