Katie Taylor has been named the Female Fighter of the Year for 2019 by the Boxing Writers Association of America.

The Bray woman became a two-weight world champion this year as she took her unbeaten record to 15-0 (6 KOs). Starting out with two lightweight belts, she defeated Rose Volante and Delfine Persoon to unify the division before stepping up in weight to beat Christina Linardatou last month.
