Taylor ready for Olympic semi

Katie Taylor's home town is gearing up for her Olympic semi-final fight this afternoon.

She takes on 19-year-old Mavzuna Chorieva of Tajikstan at 2pm this afternoon after defeating Great Britain's Natasha Jonas in her opening bout on Monday.

A big screen has been rolled into Bray Civic Centre on the Wicklow town's main street, so locals can gather to cheer on the four-time World Champion in her latest bout.

Katie has already guaranteed a medal after a win on Monday, but a victory today would see her continue on in the battle for gold.

Meanwhile later tonight, Beijing bronze medalist Paddy Barnes can claim his second Olympic medal.
