Katie Taylor takes on Paddy Barnes... on Twitter

By Steve Neville

She doesn’t hold back outside the ring either.

Paddy Barnes took to Twitter to compare the 5 World Titles won by Katie Taylor with his own achievments.

Barnes said she may have 5 World Titles but she doesn't have any Commonwealth Games titles. Barnes has two Commonwealth titles, from 2010 and 2014.

But Taylor hit back, bringing the funny.

@paddyb_ireland haha! The commonwealths?! Sure my Ma would win a gold medal in that!!
