Lightweight Taylor -- an Olympic, five-times world and six-times European champion -- is among the leading names across all of the 20 sports in the Azeri capital of Baku. In front of a strong contingent of vocal Irish support at the atmospheric Crystal Hall, Taylor registered a unanimous points decision over Bulgarian Denitsa Eliseeva to reach the quarter-finals at the inaugural games.
