Newly crowned World lightweight champion
Katie Taylor jetted in to a heroines reception at Dublin Airport

On Saturday last the 22 year old Bray

after she beat Annabella Farias of Argentina in the 60Kg World

The Bray woman, who is coached by her
dad, Peter Taylor, registered 67 points in China and conceded just
11 in her five fights.
Her boxer of the tournament award will
be presented at the AIBA men's World Cup in Moscow on December 12th.
Ireland finished in 6th spot in the
medals table at the World Championships (see above link) despite
having just one boxer competing in Ningbo City.
China, who were using a 13 strong squad,
finished in number one position after claiming five gold medals.
Meanwhile, Taylor has already been
named fighter of the month for December on the influential women's
boxing web-site W-BAN.

"Taylor
One Bout From Gold"
Katie Taylor produced a
master-class of boxing to march into the lightweight final at the
5th AIBA Women's World Championships in Ningbo City, China following
a resounding 20-2 semi final win over two times Russian national
champion Ayzznat Gadzhieva this morning.
It was right hands and left hooks all the
way from the 22 year old Bray woman, who was 6-1 ahead at the end of
the first and 13-2 in front at the end of the second, before adding
another seven points to her total in the third and final round.
Taylor, the reigning World, European and
European Union champion, who is now guaranteed at least silver, will
meet Cheng Dong of China in tomorrows 60Kg final.
Dong beat Cindy Orain of France 6-1 this
morning. Taylor beat Orain 11-0 in last Augusts European Union final
in Liverpool.
Commentating on this mornings result,
Taylor's dad and coach Peter Taylor said that it was his
daughters best performance of the tournament so far.
Taylor senior also revealed that
there were a lot of fairly vocal Irish fans at the Ningbo Youngor
Gymnasium this morning.
He said: "Katie gave a master-class this
morning. She was absolutely outstanding. She's improving with every
bout at these Championships.
"The Russian girl came to box and was
attacking all the time but Katie picked her off superbly with
counter punches.
We have one more big test tomorrow and
that is our focus now.
"A lot of Irish fans have arrived down
from Beijing to cheer Katie on and they created a terrific
atmosphere.The Fields of Athenry got a great blast this morning."
Today's results means that for the
second time in just over three months an Irish boxer will meet a
Chinese opponent in a major international final in China.
Last August, Irish captain Ken Egan was
desperately unlucky to lose out 11-7 to Xiaoping Zhang of China in
the light heavyweight Olympic final.
The finals of the 5th AIBA Women's World
Championships will be held this Saturday starting at 2pm local time.
Ningbo City is eight hours ahead of
Ireland.
Women's senior bouts are contested over
three, two minute rounds.

Katie Taylor is eager to get in the ring
for tomorrows lightweight semi final with Ayzznat Gadzhieva
of Russia at the 5th AIBA Women's World Championships
in Ningbo City, China
according to her dad and coach Peter Taylor.

that Gadzhieva will provide a stern test for the reigning World,

bronze medal from these Championships.
He said: "Katie has taken
a lot of confidence from her last win and she can't wait to get in
the ring for the semi final. She completed a light training session
today and she is fit and ready for another test tomorrow.
"I believe that Gadzhieva will
come to fight and we could see a high scoring contest. She (Gadzhieva)
is a tough and strong opponent - it will be a difficult bout and
nothing can be taken for granted.
"Every bout at these
Championships presents a challenge and the further Katie progresses
the more difficult those challenges become."

Ningbo Youngor Gymnasium should take place between 9am and 10am
(Irish time).

"Taylor v Dilhofova"
Katie Taylor will have to keep Danusa
Dilhofova on the backfoot in tomorrows last 16 clash at the 5th AIBA
Women's World Championships in Ningbo City, China according to her
dad and coach Peter Taylor.
Taylor junior, who is defending the
World lightweight title she won in New Delhi in November 2006, meets
the Czech Republic fighter between 7am and 8am tomorrow morning
(Irish time).
At stake is a place in the quarter
finals, and Taylor senior, who will be working his daughters corner
at the Ningbo Youngor Gymnasium, is anticipating a tough three
rounds.
He said: "Dilhofova had a good win over
the Turkish girl in her last bout and her confidence will be high.
She is a strong, aggressive boxer that likes to come forward a lot.
"Katie will be looking to get off to a
good start and keep her on the backfoot tomorrow. We are expecting a
very physical fight but Katie is feeling very confident and is
really looking forward to getting in the ring for this one."
Taylor began her title defence with a
20-3 win over Australian, Emma Carruthers on Saturday. Dilhofova
advanced following a 12-0 win over Turkeys Gonca Yilmaz.
The Czech Republic fighter won
lightweight gold at the Witch Cup in Hungary earlier this year.
Taylor, the reigning World, European and
