Katie Taylor qualifies for Olympic Games after dominant display in Astana

Katie Taylor has booked her spot at the Olympic Games in Rio this summer after coming through her World Championship quarter-final bout this afternoon.

Taylor, currently Olympic champion in her weight division, produced a dominant display to beat Mexico's Victoria Torres via unanimous decision in Astana.

Torres came out of the blocks fast, delivering a number of powerful body shots. However, Taylor remained strong and moved around the ring well, countering big right hands as she moved.

She now progresses to the semi-final where she is guaranteed a bronze medal.

Earlier today, Kellie Harrington also won her quarter-final to guarantee herself a bronze medal at the world Championships.
