Irish boxer Katie Taylor has been centre of attention in the women's boxing world after the decision was taken to include the sport at the 2012 Olympics.

The world, European and EU lightweight champion's trainer and father Peter Taylor told the Irish Independent that there has always been media interest in his daughter.

However, he noted that outings in her women's fitness wear recently have been subject to particularly intense attention.

Mr Taylor told the newspaper: "A lot of people expect her to just show up and win gold.

"If only it was so simple. Katie has to fight for everything she gets and opponents all raise their game against her."

Taylor is set to meet Denica Eliseeva of Bulgaria at the women's Euro championships currently taking place in the Ukraine.

At the age of 15, Taylor made Irish boxing history in her first officially sanctioned women's bout held in Ireland.
