Westmeath Photographer Ringside For Katie Taylor's Final Fight

A Westmeath man says he became emotional after being invited into Katie Taylor's inner sanctum moments before her retirement fight on Saturday. Award winning photographer James Crombie was in Taylor's dressing room in the minutes building up to her fight against Flora Pili in Croke Park. The Rahugh man was also given access to the final spars of her career in the week's before the bout which saw her crowned as undisputed super lightweight champion. He has been speaking with Will Faulkner on Midlands Today and says the changing room fell silent 10 minutes before the fight and a religious chant began to play: Photo by James Crombie.
