Katie Taylor calls for more time

Katie Taylor has called for women’s professional boxing rounds to be extended to three minutes, in line with men’s bouts, following her fourth pro win over the weekend.

The former Olympic champion cruised to her fourth win in as many months, with a dominant 80-72 points decision over Bulgarian Milena Koleva at the Manchester Arena on Saturday night.

Taylor dismantled her 28-year-old opponent, a former world title challenger, putting Koleva on the canvas in the penultimate round of an eight-round lightweight contest after a right hook capped off a flurry of punches.
