AHEAD OF THIS afternoon’s Olympic semi-final, RTÉ have dug into the archives to unearth an old interview with a young boxing hopeful named Katie Taylor.
Interviewed by Kevin O’Connell — remember Kevo? — for Sports Stream back in 2002, the 15-year-old Taylor talks about her sporting hopes and dreams as she takes her first steps into the world of boxing.
Five European titles, four EU titles and four World titles later, Ireland’s superstar is just two fights away from the biggest achievement of all: Olympic gold.
