I still struggle to get to the end without crying. Deirdre Gogarty sent me this message last night to give to @KatieTaylor. And I’m so happy that she got it. This shows how important the @DeirdreLegacy cause is for recognising Irelands first woman professional boxer

🇮🇪 🥊 Katie Taylor is the greatest of all time. Ireland’s champion of the world. Sí mo laoch.

Katie Taylor is the GOAT when it comes to women’s boxing, she’s changed the game for women! Got women’s boxing into the Olympics, been a trail blazer her whole career and has brought women’s pay in the pro game to a different level. Congrats champ well earned @KatieTaylor 👑🇮🇪

Best thing about the Jake Paul - Mike Tyson fight was that hopefully people saw Katie Taylor & Amanda Serrano go to war and maybe give elite women boxers some respect Remember, it was on a Tyson card that Christy Martin & Deirdre Gogarty first got some respect for women's boxing

@KarlM62432 @mickconlan11 @KatieTaylor Yes Karl bang on the money. Deirdre had to go through a lot of hardship to allow many of these women to box. Having to emigrate, leaving family and friends. As well as struggling to get fights for years.

Sydney Sweeney has announced via Instagram that she will play Christy Martin in an upcoming movie about the life of the legendary boxer! In 1996, Martin rose to fame after fighting Ireland's Deirdre Gogarty! We can’t wait to see Sydney bring the story to life on the big screen!

@MostVpromotions @Serranosisters @KatieTaylor @jakepaul This fight has the potential to be as impactful as Christy Martin vs Deirdre Gogarty was back in 1996. Read my take on Taylor-Serrano II here: x.com/UFC21/status/1…
