Taylor to box ahead of Baku 2015

Katie Taylor will be testing a niggling injury to her wrist this weekend ahead of next month’s inaugural European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The Olympic lightweight champion will meet Swedish pair Agnes Alexiusson at the Ballywaltrim Community Centre, followed by Pernila Gustavsson on a Trojan BC.

The double header will be the Bray BC orthodox’s first competitive fights since winning her fifth successive World title in Korea last November.

A injury to her left wrist in Korea has kept the AIBA world number one out of competitive action since then.Her father and coach Pete Taylor said

“This is the first time out testing the injury and hopefully it will hold up. The European Games are just around the corner and we’re going in a heavy phase of training now,” he said.
