The Boxing World reacts to Katie Taylor’s World Title win
Katie Taylor [7(4)-0] claimed a dominant world title win last night in Cardiff.
The Bray boxer dropped and widely outpointed brave Argentinian Anahi Esther Sanchez to claim the vacant WBA lightweight belt.
An impressive performance in her toughest test to date, Taylor’s fellow fighters offered their congratulations afterwards.
