Olympic champion Katie Taylor is through to her 16th major  final following victory over Denitsa Eliseeva in the Women’s European Boxing Championships in Bucharest.

Taylor will box for a record sixth European lightweight gold medal tomorrow following her unanimous decision victory over Bulgaria’s Eliseeva.

Her opponent is Estelle Mossley of France after she defeated Russian Sofia Ochigava in the second of the lightweight semi-finals.

There was dissapointment for Kilkenny weltwerweight Clare Grace who lost out to Britain’s Stacey Copeland in the last four of the 69kg division, but Grace takes home a bronze medal from the championship but the 20 year old is a real prospect for the future.
