Amy can beat Katie conqueror Potkonen, says dad

Tony Broadhurst believes his daughter can beat Katie Taylor’s Rio 2016 nemesis, Mira Potkonen, if she produces three rounds of top-drawer boxing in Siberia today.

Dundalk and Cork southpaws, Amy Broadhurst and Christina Desmond, will be guaranteed at least bronze at the World Women’s Elites, in Ulan-Ude, if they win their last eight bouts early this afternoon, having posted unanimous decisions yesterday.
