Katie Taylor recorded a unanimous points victory against Caroline Veyre over four rounds at the Mansion House in Dublin in the first bout of a double header this weekend for the European, World and Olympic champion.
The Bray pugilist forced her Canadian opponent, who was a late replacement for Clarissa Parker after the American encountered sever travel problems, to take a standing count in the third round.
Taylor faces Finnish fighter Mira Potkonen at Ballywaltrim Community Centre in her home town tonight in what will be just her second contest since she landed a fifth consecutive European Union title in July.
