Boxing: Becky baying for revenge in grudge rematch with Katie

THE rematch between the two leading female boxers in these islands is scheduled for the Edel Quinn Hall in Kanturk on Sunday night when the top of the bill contest will feature Ireland’s Katie Taylor against Becky Price from Wales.

When they met earlier this year, Miss Price became the first and, so far, only boxer to take the 17-year-old Bray girl the distance in what turned out to be a thrilling contest.

Since then, the university student from Newport has been seething for a rematch in a bid to reverse what was the only blemish on her card. Like Katie Taylor, she is an outstanding athlete who has distinguished herself at a number of sports, but she, too, chooses boxing as her preferred sport.
