Female Boxing

There has been a renewed interest in boxing in Ireland amongst women over the last few years. One of the main reasons for this has been the success of Bray Boxing Club's very own Katie Taylor. 

In October 2001 a 15 year old Katie Taylor beat Belfast’s Alanna Murphy in the first-ever sanctioned female boxing match at the National Stadium in Dublin. 

Katie Taylor is without doubt the greatest female amateur boxer in the world today. 

She is a 4 time EU Champion & current Double World Champion.

In 2009 Womens Boxing was designated as an Olympic Sport and will take place at The London 2012 Olympics and it is expected that once again female boxing both in Ireland and around the world will see a renewed interst in boxing amongst women.
