Taylor 'just another boxer' - Ochigava

Katie Taylor may be the unbackable favourite to complete her march to Olympic boxing gold at ExCeL tomorrow but her right to reign as the undisputed world number one women’s boxer has been challenged by opponent Sofya Ochigava.

Taylor brought down the house once again with a 17-9 lightweight semi-final win over Tajikistan’s Mavzuna Chorieva, a result that helped lift Ireland’s guaranteed boxing medal tally to four after an evening win for Paddy Barnes.
