Katie Taylor will not be able to defend her National title.

The five-time world champion and Olympic gold medalist did not weigh-in this morning ahead of the start of the Elite National Championships which take place later tonight.

Taylor has now confirmed that the wrist injury that she suffered at the world championships in Korea has not healed quickly enough for her to fight this weekend.

Louise Donohue and Debbie O'Reilly will now contest this year's women's lightweight final.
