Katie Taylor odds on favourite to win RTE Sports Person of the year on Saturday as Rory McIlroy surprise outsider

Katie Taylor is odds on favourite to scoop the RTE Sports Person of the year award this weekend.

The Bray fighter has twice won the award before and she looks set to scoop the prestigious award for a third time.

The 10-person list includes a number of big names such as World number one golfer Rory McIlroy and World Rugby player of the year Josh van der Flier.

But Taylor is the bookmaker favourite for the award.

Boylesports has priced the Bray fighter at 1/6 to win the award after she headlined Madison Square Garden earlier this year, beating Amanda Serrano in New York.

And if she does go on to win for a third time, Taylor will join elusive company with Padraig Harrington also winning the award three times while Sonia O'Sullivan won the award a record five times.

Last year's winner Rachael Blackmore is priced as a 100/1 outsider while Rory McIlroy, who was tipped by man, is priced at 33/1 and listed behind Clifford, Katie McCabe, Rhys McClenaghan and Ciara Mageean.
