Katie Taylor has been named Ireland's greatest sports star of all time.

A poll by BoyleSports saw the boxer come in first place with 20 per cent of the votes, while Roy Keane followed in second with 14 per cent.

Last month Taylor avenged an earlier loss to English woman Chantelle Cameron in front of a packed 3Arena.

When it comes to the most anticipated sporting events for the new year, more than half say they'd most like to see a Six Nations victory for Ireland.

Sporting aside, 18 per cent want to see us win Eurovision, while less than 1 in 10 would want to see Conor McGregor follow through with his plan to become president.
