The hugely anticipated rematch of the 2012 Olympic final did not take place today as it was announced that Irish champion, Katie Taylor has received a walkover.
The Bray fighter now goes straight through to the semi-finals and she remains on course to scoop a fifth championship title.

Taylor will now face the winner of the fight between Jinhua Yin, from China, and Bulgaria’s Denista Eliseeva, in the semi-final on Sunday.
