Woohoo! Katie Taylor Clocks Yet Another Gold Medal

Katie Taylor continues to cement her place as the greatest female boxer of all time, in the history of the world, EVER after winning yet another gold medal at the World Championship in Jeju, South Korea.

Katie now has a fifth world championship gold medal to add to her collection after she was victorious in the AIBA World Elite lightweight final against Yana Allekseevana of Azerbaijan this morning. Her quiet confidence, fierce talent and dignified representation of Irish women is so admirable. We love this woman! (See the other women included on our Irish Women Who Rocked Our World in 2014 here.)

MMA star Conor McGregor, Paul McGrath and Enda Kenny all took to Twitter to congratulate the sports star but her very proud dad - and coach - Peter summed up exactly what the nation are thinking when he spoke to Radio One this morning. He said,

"Five world titles, what can you say? She is unbelievable, a legend."
