Broadhurst may collide with Taylor conqueror

Amy Broadhurst may have to beat Katie Taylor’s conqueror Mira Potkonen to complete her dream European gold medal collection.

The Dundalk southpaw has been named on a four-strong Irish squad in place of injured World Elite champion Kellie Harrington for the European Elites which begin Saturday in Madrid. Finnish puncher Potkonen, who beat Taylor at Rio 2016, and Russia’s Anastasia Beliakova are also in Broadhurst’s lightweight class. Cork’s Christina Desmond, an ex-European Elite bronze medallist, Cavan’s Ceire Smith and Castlerea’s Aoife O’Rourke complete the four-strong Irish team in the welter, fly and middle limits.
