The auld voice needs a bit of work alright though.

FAI President David Blood said of Taylor's boxing world title: "As a footballer and a boxer, Katie has proved to be a wonderful ambassador for Ireland and everybody within Irish football is absolutely delighted at her magnificent achievement. There are very few people in the world who have participated so successfully in two different sports at the highest level and it just goes to show what a remarkable person Katie is."

Irish women's senior soccer team manager Noel King also expressed delight that she had been crowned a world boxing champion. "She is a tremendous competitor and whether it is football or boxing she will always give it 100 per cent commitment. I am thrilled for her, and her family, who have always been tremendously supportive of her football and boxing careers."

Niamh O’Donoghue, the chair of the Women’s Football Association of Ireland, added that "Everybody in women’s football is immensely proud of Katie’s achievement. She has shown that it is possible for Irish women to conquer the world and we hope that this will now rub off on our international teams as they continue to progress up the world rankings."

If it comes to a choice between the "beautiful game" and the "sweet science" boxing wins out for Taylor, who says "I love playing for Ireland, and I love soccer, but when it comes down to it I would choose boxing as my number one sport as I'd miss it too much if I wasn't involved." Katie's mother Bridget echoes her sentiments as she is more concerned when her daughter is on the soccer pitch than when someone is attempting to pummel her inside a boxing ring. "I'd honestly be more worried about her getting injured playing football," she says.

She is our most incredibly talented sports woman probably ever...she has won the last 3 european titles, reigning world champ, which she defends in November and is the undisputed pound for pound best fighter in the female amateur boxing world...she wins most of her fights on the 15 point rule - which means once you get 15 points up on your opponent the fight ends automatically...

She is aalso an Irish soccer international...an incredible girl in fairness and i don't care what her accent sounds like...

We have all too few spoting greats in this country, and she is up there with Harrington and Sonia in terms of achievement, and far more superior within her own sport...

[legend76]

Pity bout the voice

yeah tis a shame alright. she's scrubbed up well for the RTE gig

Do yourself a favour and switch over to BBC interactive if you have it. The RTE coverage is delayed. The match just ended 0-0 and is about to go into extra time.

Hey Legend,

Very interesting story about what happened to her at the last Womens World Cup. You should read up on it. Sports Illustrated did an unreal article on it. Has done well to make it back, thought she might walk away from the sport altogether after the backlash 9and she was probably right in the first place though didn't handle it the best way).

about her being dropped, Briana Scurry coming in and the US losing to Brazil??

“We're initiating a process of reconciliation, and in doing that you can't mandate reconciliation,” said coach Greg Ryan, who controversially benched Solo before the 4-0 semifinal loss to Brazil that eliminated the Americans from the World Cup last month. “This isn't a made for Hollywood love story, this is a real story, and we're all working at that.”
