Katie Taylor retains top spot as Ireland’s most admired athlete

Associated Press  

DUBLIN — Champion boxer Katie Taylor has been named Ireland’s “most admired athlete” for the eighth straight year, and two other women round out the top three. Taylor took 15% of the vote in the Teneo Sport and Sponsorship Index, released on Thursday, a month after she retained her undisputed super lightweight championship in a unanimous decision over Amanda Serrano. The Olympic rowing gold medal pair Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy jointly were fourth with rugby international Bundee Aki, and trailblazing jockey Rachael Blackmore was next. Paul won a unanimous decision but the real fireworks on the evening were provided by Taylor and Serrano — in a rematch of their epic 2022 bout at Madison Square Garden also won by Taylor.
