Madam, – It is baffling to me why, again and again, Katie Taylor’s amazing success story is reported almost as a footnote, when we all know that, had a man reached her level of achievement, it would receive immeasurable column inches, photographs and media coverage.
As someone who admires Ms Taylor’s modesty as well as her fantastic commitment to the sport, I find it very frustrating trying to understand why a three-time world champion, whose accolades are such a boost to a nation in need of them, is under-celebrated in her own country. – Yours, etc,
