KATIE TAYLOR FACES the biggest challenge of her professional career so far on Saturday night.

The 2012 Olympic champion faces the unbeaten Nina Meinke in a world title eliminator in a sold-out Wembley Stadium.

Taylor took the ring yesterday for an open workout, and showed off her hand/eye co-ordination and speed in this drill with a difference.

Wearing a baseball cap with an elastic band and tennis ball attached to it, Taylor bobbed around the ring while testing her reflexes.
