Irish boxing superstar Katie Taylor won yet another major title at the European Games on Saturday but even that wouldn't bring her to say she had replaced idol Sonia O'Sullivan as her country's greatest ever female sportswoman. The 28-year-old Olympic lightweight champion -- who has also accrued five world and six European crowns -- eased to victory over promising young French boxer Estelle Mossely, the same fighter she beat in the European final last year. O'Sullivan won the world outdoor silver medal over 5000 metres in 1995, won silver at the 2000 Olympics in the same event and was also crowned European champion three times, including the 5000 and 10000 metres double at the 1998 championships.
