Katie Taylor pulls out of Limerick fight

Katie Taylor has pulled out of a highly publicised fight in Limerick’s Thomond Park next month.

The world champion was due to fight on the undercard of Andy Lee’s world title defence against Billy Joe Saunders.

But Lee’s trainer, Adam Booth has confirmed that they could not reach an agreement that would allow the five-time World Champion to take part in the event.

Taylor’s participation in the Limerick showcase was announced just four days ago.
