Katie Taylor

Her promoter has suggested Dublin's Croke Park for a re-match with Amanda Serrano.

"We've seen lots of difficulties and dysfunction and internal conflict - which is all about internal conflict over what we should be talking about, which is the great success of boxing. "There are very serious issues in boxing, and the governance of boxing is in quite a mess to be frank. "We've had some initial engagement, and I would fully support and would love to see Katie Taylor fight in Croke Park.

EDDIE HEARN mapped out a number of options for Katie Taylor's next fight.Taylor, 35, retained her undisputed world lightweight titles over Amanda Serr.

"Myself and Amanda can easily fill that. I want to fight the absolute best. "That would be insane." I obviously love these sort of challenges. "I think the only thing that could top last week would be a rematch in Ireland. My homecoming fight. "We’ve had an approach from government level in Ireland, they want to do Croke Park, it would be an incredible moment for Katie Taylor."

The Dundalk and Roscommon women join only Katie Taylor, Michael Conlan and Kellie Harrington as World Championship gold medal winners.

Forevermore, this country’s short list of boxing World Championship gold medal winners and, indeed, its far broader pantheon of sporting greats, will contain the names Amy Broadhurst and Lisa O’Rourke. In a close first round, she deliberately ceded ground as she attempted to work out her aggressive Mozambican opponent, but she still managed to routinely beat Panguane to the punch. Long story short: the Castlerea woman needed to pinch one of those two tied cards to be crowned world champion. Three of the five judges saw it as such, with Broadhurst edging ahead 3-2 as they went into the second. It was harsh on the North African who, while second best, had hardly been run ragged over the three minutes. The Dundalk woman wasn’t long doing her calculations and closing the gap, though.

"My game plan is always to be on top of the podium but I am over the moon after this success, I had to keep my distance in the final and follow Zuar's and John's instructions." "I felt in the second round that my strategy worked and I knew I could make it. "She’s got all the skill in the world, but not just the skill she has the heart and the grit as well.

Amy Broadhurst and Lisa O'Rourke join Taylor, Conlan and Harrington in the pantheon of Irish boxing greats on an unforgettable evening.

O’Rourke started the final round fast, winging in punches from distance and then landing the cleaner shots as things got wild in close. As the second round ended, it was Broadhurst landing the cleaner punches, while the Algerian started to fade. My family and friends and my sister on the team with me, it just makes it so much better. The judges were once again split 3-2 in O’Rourke’s favour, which gave her a big lead, although Panguane could still get the verdict by taking the final round. After a close first round, Broadhurst got well on top to outwork and outpunch the Algerian. The high performance in Ireland is top class and of course my club coach from Olympic Galway have been unbelievable. As Broadhurst caught her breath, her teammate joined her in such rarified air. The only other Irish gold medallist was Taylor, who won five times between 2006 and 2014. She became the first Irish women’s world champion since Harrington, who won gold in New Delhi in 2018. As far as 30-minute spells in the history of Irish boxing go, this was unprecedented. I was sent here at 63kg and I’ve proven myself that I am just as capable." It was indeed 'crazy'. And it was only going to get crazier.

KATIE Taylor has congratulated Ireland's two newest world champions Amy Broadhurst and Lisa O'Rourke.

My plan is always to be on the top of the podium, but I am over the moon after this success. “I won the EUBC European U22 Boxing Championships in Croatia this March, but this is something unexpected for me. I don’t remember what my coach Zaur Antia told me in the second break, but I gave it everything in the third.” Amy and Lisa’s victories are magnificent achievements, and they should enjoy every moment of their wins.” I had to be patient and not make any mistakes against the counter-attacking Algerian. “I believe I still need days to understand what I did today, “ said Amy after winning the gold medal in the light welterweight category in Istanbul.

In what turned out to be a historic day for Irish boxing, Louth native Amy Broadhurst and O'Rourke both won gold at the World Championship finals in Istanbul yesterday, to follow in the footsteps of Taylor herself, and more recently Kellie Harrington. Taylor is clearly a hero for 20-year-old O'Rourke, as she is for every up-and-coming boxer around the world.

Before yesterday evening, Ireland boasted three previous Amateur World Champions; Katie Taylor, Michael Conlan, and Kellie Harrington. Advertisement.

Also a southpaw, O'Rourke was in a cagey, tight contest, but was undoubtedly the winner, and the possibilities are endless for this young star. Lisa O'Rourke was next in he ring for the 70kg weight category, and at just 20 years old, this girl has a future brighter than the shiny medal she just picked up. Broadhurst has been on the Irish circuit for a while, and has had to suffer some heartache at recent tournaments, but her potential, work ethic and talent was clear to see, and it was always just a matter of 'when,' rather than 'if' she would succeed.

A call from Katie Taylor last month instilled a sense of self-belief in newly crowned world champion, Amy Broadhurst.

"The reason being, she has done different things in different fights. That really has been outstanding for me, to watch her do different things against different opponents and be comfortable doing anything and everything. "Her and Katie were so fantastic with each other. I have learned so much since being here in and out of the ring! "When she came home it was like the missing piece of the jigsaw was there. Katie told her she never would have gotten the same preparation with anybody else.
