This weekend saw Irish girl Katie Taylor win gold at the World Boxing Championships in Barbados. She was welcomed into Dublin Airport yesterday by a huge crowd celebrating her win. The teenager, from Bray, has raised the profile of boxing in Ireland massively and her success has also been a boon for womens sport here; encouraging young women to get involved in competitive sporting activities. If you would like to try out boxing you can contact the Irish Amateur Boxing Association at www.iaba.ie. They will put you in touch with your local club so you can get fit and boost your confidence in the ring.
