What Should Katie Taylor Do Next?
A TRIUMPHANT and imperious finish to her boxing career saw Katie Taylor dominate in the ring in front of a home crowd of 80,000 in Croke Park.
And while there are discussions as to her position among the pantheon of Irish sporting greats, many more people are wondering what Katie Taylor will do next, with many members of the public making their own suggestions:
“She’s competitive and you don’t just switch that off, she has the one Olympic gold medal in the boxing. What’s to say she can’t win a gold in another event, in break dancing for example. Braygun all the way!” – Jessica, Louth.
“She’s been monk-like in her flawless dedication to her sport. She’s given up so much over the years. So many sacrifices. I wouldn’t begrudge her a DUI in Las Vegas coming out of an underground high-rollers poker game via a strip club, in fact I think she’s overdue a bit of fun” – Maureen, Wicklow.
“The Terminator is overdue another reboot, Katie could be punching through walls and talking with a robotic monotone voice,” – John, Dublin
“She should consider selling Katie Taylor branded communion wafers on QVC in the US, I have the patent for embossing communion wafers. Give me a call Katie, we’ll get the ball rolling” – Michael, Meath (08769403266).
“YouTube is where the post-sports career money is at, you see all the footballers, NFL and basketball heads uploading their podcasts there. Katie should do a channel commentating on Ireland’s best street brawls. 500,000 subscribers in the first 24 hours, no problem” – Paul, Wexford.
“She’d make a fortune as a Rent-A-Box. Know anyone in your life that would benefit from a proper decking? Nothing over the top like, just a straightener that’d help reunite some gobshite with their long missing sense? €150 a box seems fair to me?” – Fintan, Cork.
“She gave Westlife a nice spot on her fight card. The lads are down Mark for their upcoming tour, Katie could slot in, and she’d hardly be worse than Nicky at singing!” – Niamh, Sligo.
