Boxing: Shooting won’t put Taylor off fighting

Katie Taylor, the IBF and WBA lightweight champion, is “ready to fight” on July 28 despite the shooting of father Peter in her hometown of Bray this week.

The 57-year-old boxing coach was shot early on Tuesday when a gunman opened fire at the Bray boxing club.

Father of three Bobby Messett, 50, was killed during the attack while Peter, who was the reported target, sustained serious injuries. Another man was also hurt by the lone assailant.
