Talented Taylor to top the bill in boxing extravaganza

KATIE TAYLOR, Ireland’s latest boxing sensation, will top the bill at a show in the Edel Quinn Hall in Kanturk on November 30, it was confirmed yesterday

Dan Lane, who is organising the show which is promoted by Rylane Boxing club as part of their Silver Jubilee celebrations, said they were looking forward to staging Ireland's first ladies boxing contest down south.

"We had intended bringing her down last year but we were unable to find a suitable opponent," he said. Taylor has won all of her five official contests to date four inside the distance. And the only woman to go the distance with the 17-year-old Dubliner, Candy Berry from England, has been pencilled in as a possible opponent for Kanturk.
