Katie Taylor takes gold at European Games in Baku

Not a bother for the Bray lightweight

Darragh Murphy

Ireland’s greatest ever sportswoman continues to back up the hype.

Katie Taylor will leave Azerbaijan with gold wrapped around her neck after taking all four rounds against France’s Estelle Mossely.

Taylor looked to have gained motivation from a semi-final fright as she took the lightweight final on points against a gritty, if outmatched, opponent.

The fight wasn’t the most technical you’re going to see but Taylor’s experience paid dividends as she knew when to pour it on and when to lay back as every round followed a similar path.

The medal is Taylor’s 18th total championship gold medal so we’re pretty confident in saying that she’s not too shabby at the ol’ boxing.
