Olympic champion Katie Taylor will have to be at her best to secure a sixth successive European title in Bucharest, according to Irish head coach Billy Walsh.

Katie Taylor has eased her way into yet another European Championship final.

Russian southpaw Sofya Ochigava and Katie Taylor are just one win each away from setting up a repeat of their 2012 Olympic lightweight final in London.

Katie Taylor cruised to the 145th victory of her career to progress to tomorrow’s lightweight semi-finals at the European Women’s Championships in Bucharest.
