When asked about her dream of fighting at the Olympics, Broadhurst told Ireland AM: "Since I've been a young girl, that's all I've been boxing for. If someone said to me give everything you've achieved back and you'll be an Olympic champion, I'd say here take it.

"I'd give it away in a heartbeat because the Olympics has been my dream and I'd choose it over anything."
