Katie Taylor: I’m not finished yet, that’s for sure

The reign of Queen Katie is over. The crown she has occupied for a dozen years, shaken twice by defeats this year, was finally toppled by a Finnish mother of two fed up with always losing to her.

Katie Taylor’s hold on the Olympic lightweight crown won so magnificently in London four years ago did not survive its first challenge.

The tears of joy that flowed in one Games were sobs of sorrow here.
