KATIE TAYLOR HAS once again proved that she’s more than a match for Paddy Barnes.
Ireland’s Olympic medallists are good friends and sparring partners, and footage of one of their fierce sessions went viral in the run up to London 2012.
Barnes couldn’t resist a cheeky dig when Taylor won her fifth straight world title in South Korea this week and tweeted:
Here @KatieTaylor ya may have 5 World titles but have ya got 2 Commonwealth Games titles??? #fightme
Taylor’s response was a knockout blow:
Haha! The commonwealths?! Sure my Ma would win a gold medal in that!!
