World Champion boxer Amy Broadhurst has bought her first house after finally receiving the €102,855 prize money she earned by winning the world title five months ago.
Broadhurst along with Lisa O'Rourke both won gold for Ireland at the World Championships back in May. After a lengthy delay, both fighters have at last received their winnings awarded by the International Boxing Association (IBA).
This year's world championship was the first in history to have a cash prize on offer. Despite the prolonged delay, the IBA continuously insisted that proper procedures were being followed and that the money would be paid once these procedures had been adhered to.
