Katie Taylor will make her professional boxing debut on Saturday, and the former Olympic champion is determined to leave a lasting legacy in the sport.Irish fighter Taylor dominated the amateur ranks for more than a decade, winning five world and six European titles as well as gold at London 2012.On returning home to the seaside town of Bray following the London Games, Taylor was greeted by more than 20,000 adoring fans.Her bow in the paid ranks comes four months after she turned 30, but age has not tempered her ambition. Indeed, Taylor believes she can have as big an impact on womens boxing as Ronda Rousey has had on female mixed martial arts.Id love to win a world title, unify the belts and try to go up the weights and try to win belts at higher weights too, Taylor, who fights?Karina Kopinska at The SSE Arena in London, said.Id like to do what the likes of Ronda Rousey have done in the UFC and become a big name in professional boxing and raise the profile of the sport.UFC take their female fighters very seriously and they claim equal billing to the men on the shows, thats huge, and thats why a lot of boxers are turning to UFC.Its important to be financially secure when I am finished fighting as its a short career, but I am not motivated by money. I made a good living in the amateurs and now its a new challenge and new goals and thats what is exciting for me.I am going to where I am most passionate about my future and thats in the pros.Taylor was unable to defend her womens lightweight title at the Rio Games, losing a close quarterfinal to Finlands?Mira Potkonen.She has been grateful for the short turnaround between that bout, on Aug. 15, and her pro debut as she bids to raise the profile of womens boxing in the UK and Ireland.I never felt like walking away, I knew that theres still so much more greatness ahead of me, Taylor said. I performed badly at the Olympics but I knew that the best was yet to come.I am a fresh 30-year-old and I feel I have many, many years left in me, so it was a matter of getting past the disappointment and refocusing on the future.Taylor added: [Womens boxing] is?big in the States, Germany, Scandinavia, theres a lot of interest in the sport in these countries and we have to emulate that in Ireland and the UK.

Rookie Adelaide ruckman Reilly OBrien starred in his AFL debut, but he will be happy to go straight back to the reserves this week to make way for Sam Jacobs.First-gamer OBrien was one of the Crows best in their 138-point annihilation of Brisbane on Saturday night but he will be out of the side for Sundays trip to Fremantle if Jacobs (ankle) can prove his fitness.If not, the giant spectre of Aaron Sandilands awaits.I loved playing out there ... but when Sauce comes back, Im happy to go back to the SANFL and be the back-up, OBrien told reporters on Monday.Hes doing his rehab and recovery. Hopefully he is (right) but well see if he is and if not, Im ready to go.Thats what you play footy for, to play against the best, and (Sandilands) has obviously been one of the best in the competition for years now.OBrien grabbed a goal, 16 touches and 29 hhit-outs as Adelaide further staked their claim for a top-four spot with the big win over the Lions - the first match Jacobs had missed in four years.ddddddddddddThe 20-year-old Victorian said he owed a lot to Jacobs and ruck coach Matthew Clarke for making him the player he is today.Selected with Adelaides first pick in the 2015 rookie draft, OBrien was a key defender before he arrived at West Lakes, but is now considered one of the SANFLs leading ruckman and the long-term successor to Jacobs.I wasnt really a ruckman before I came here, he said.I learned pretty much my whole ruck craft from Matty Clarke and Sauce.Weve got a great little ruck group at the club, Ive learned heaps and I continue to learn even more.
