The incredible achievements of Ireland’s Katie Taylor have until now been judged mainly from a sporting perspective.
A bag full of medals attained off the back of European, World and Olympic conquering exploits, Taylor dragged women’s boxing single-handily to world prominence.

One such example of Ireland’s new wave of fighting females is current Irish Champion Georgia McGovern.
