KATIE TAYLOR IS still the undisputed lightweight champion after edging out Natasha Jonas in a modern-classic installment of their decade-long rivalry.
After a pulsating, see-sawing battle, the judges at ringside at the Manchester Arena scored the contest 96-94, 96-95 and 96-95 in favour of the Irish icon, a unanimous decision which was applauded even in the defeated Jonas’ corner.
