Champion urged to leave ring — for soccer pitch

After winning the respect of Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, and a host of other boxing greats, Katie Taylor has been urged to rejoin another women’s sporting revolution — in soccer.

The gold medal hero, four-time World Champ-ion, and five-time European winner is rumoured to be at a crossroads as her fame reaches global proportions.

Continuing in amateur women’s boxing, turning pro, becoming a motivational speaker, or hanging up the gloves are all potential avenues for Taylor.
