Taylor targets revenge on Russian

CURRENT World champion Katie Taylor will meet Russia’s former world champion Sofya Ochigava in today’s European lightweight final in Rotterdam.

Both women recorded comfortable semi-finals wins over their Swedish and Bulgarian opponents at the eighth European Championships yesterday to set up the eagerly-anticipated 60kg decider.

Taylor, aiming for her fifth European title in-a-row, posted a 25-11 decision over Helena Falk to guarantee herself at least silver in Rotterdam.
