Katie Taylor's unbeaten run ended

Katie Taylor's unbeaten run stretching back to the summer of 2007 has ended in the Czech Republic today.

Taylor was beaten by former World champion Sofya Ochigava of Russia in her lightweight semi-final at the Usti na Labem Gran Prix.

Ochigava, the current European featherweight champion, has moved up to lightweight for the tournament, and proved too strong for the Bray woman, winning 8-1 over four two-minute rounds.

Taylor, the reigning World and European lightweight champ, will be taking home bronze from the tournament.
