Taylor opponent to be revealed

Katie Taylor will know her opponent for Monday’s quarter-finals after tomorrow afternoon’s session at the ExCel Centre where Natasha Jonas and Queen Underwood meet.

To do that, she will have to beat both Underwood, who arrived here on a wildcard after a disappointing world championships in Qinhuangdao where she beat Daiana Sanchez (Argentina) 24-13 and Alexis Pritchard (New Zealand) 28-9 before losing to Ingrid Egner (Norway) 26-25.
