Katie Taylor battles into final

Katie Taylor survived quite a scare to set up a European games final with Estelle Mossely in Baku today.

Taylor was given the nod by two of the three judges after yesterday’s semi-final with Yana Alekseevna having been scored 38-38 and the Irish girl entered the final round behind to the home town girl.

The Olympic champion goes in search of her 18th major gold medal, though she had a notable look of relief on her face after being awarded the bout, as the Azerbaijani looked to complete a huge upset.
