Amy Broadhurst says she would give back all of her achievements to become Olympic champion

Amy Broadhurst says she would give away all her achievements and victories to date to become an Olympic champion.

The Dundalk fighter has enjoyed an incredible 12 months or so, during which she has won gold in the World and European Championships, as well as the Commonwealth Games.

Broadhurst suffered a surprise defeat to Grainne Walsh in the IABA Elite Championships earlier this year, but she is fully focused on tasting more success at the Olympics next year.

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."
