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.

Olympic champion Katie Taylor can guarantee a bronze at the very least if she beats formerly Cork-based Lavina Ioana-Mera in today's European Championship quarter final in Bucharest.

A former Munster and Cork champion will be standing in Katie Taylor’s way at the ninth European Women’s Boxing Championships in Romania today.
