Katie Taylor is through to the final after a narrow win in her semi-final in Baku.

She scored a countback victory over Yana Alekseevna of Azerbaijan in her lightweight semi-final at the European Games boxing.

All three judges scored the fight as a 38-all tie, with Taylor behind by one round on two judges' cards going into the final round.

A tight encounter saw the split decision go Taylor's way, and she will fight for gold against Estelle Mossely in tomorrow's final at 2pm Irish time.

Very close fight but deserving winner! Well done @KatieTaylor #teamÉire
