Katie Taylor has responded to the views of Billy Joe Saunders who said women should not be boxing, but "are there for sex" instead.

Saunders, Andy Lee's upcoming opponent at Thomond Park, was filmed on the iFL YouTube channel talking about the role of women in society.

He does not believe women should enter the boxing ring, and he outlined what he thought they should be doing instead.

You can hear his views on women's boxing from 2 minutes and 41 seconds into the clip below.

He said: "I think women are there for sex. Every night. Hard sex. Women's there for cleaning, cooking, washing and sex."

However, he seemed to backtrack slightly when it came to Katie.

He said: "They're not to put a headguard on and get punched in the face, although, I must say, Katie Taylor's done extremely well and she once punched Frankie Gavin up in sparring.

"All jokes aside, that's my opinion on women, but I'm just a sex maniac."

Katie gave her own thoughts about Saunders' stance on gender politics on Twitter last night, saying: "I feel sorry for his wife and daughter if that's his only view of women."

Frankie, is this true?

Yea if you were hoping for a politically correct view on women perhaps billy joe saunders would not be the go to man.

A lot of what BJS says is a wind up on IFL, although he probably does have different views to most. I like him, but thought he was out of order getting his son to hit that security guard in the balls once.

The nice thing about the two travellers fighting for the world title is that Andy lee sounds educated and modern whereas Billy Joe sounds like the stereotypical old fashioned ill schooled gypo The variety of course undercuts prejudice.

Bit racist there.

Can somebody please explain the difference between the type of traveler that BJS, Fury and Lee are?

Is it a class thing, belief thing, or what? Do they all live in caravan's, or did they used to live in them, or did their older generation live in them?

I have seen a bit of that Gypsy Wedding show where they all seem to get married young and the women have very few clothes on but don't sleep around, and the lads are very, well old fashioned is a polite way of putting it, in their approach towards them.

I have never known any traveler on a personal level and coming from Ireland my only experience of them outside of Blackie Conor on Glenroe (only an Irish person would understand this) was when they sometimes turned up and took over a field in or around the town I grew up in and then left it in a mess - doesn't leave the best impression and clearly does not fairly represent all other travelers.

The only other thing is that horse fair in England every year where the tabloids love showing the before and after photos.

BJS is Romany, Lee Irish, Fury a mix of the two. Their families have lived on sites for generations. BJS still does. In my experience, the Irish lot are a bit more ruthless. The girls are entitled to dress as they like, but they really don't put it about. Even inappropriate comments to them could bring you trouble.

He put it on Twitter. Good shot as well, the kid was only about six. Wrong really.

Does that mean that BJS thinks Kellie Maloney should be used only for sex and cleaning?
