Ireland's Katie Taylor is through to the quarter finals of the AIBA World Women's Elite Championships in South Korea.

She beat out Finland's Mira Potkonen, who also lost twice to Taylor last year, with a unanimous points decision.

"Every time I've boxed that girl and I've boxed her two times before, it has always been a physical battle," said Taylor.

"But I was well prepared for the fight. The first 30 seconds of the second round was a complete war. I should have moved a bit more but sometimes you just get caught into a fight," she added.

Taylor (28) will now meet Russia's Sofya Ochigava in the last eight tomorrow.

The Olympic champion is aiming for her fifth consecutive title.
