Katie on course for gold after semi-final win

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.

Sean McComb is in the ring right now against Azeri Albert Selimov in the men's lightweight semis.
