Katie Taylor progressed to the quarter-finals of the 6th AIBA World Championships with an impressive win over Adriana Araujo of Brazil in Barbados last night. But Allana Murphy and Sinead Kavanagh bowed out following last-16 reversals to Turkey and China at the Garfield Sobers Sports Complex in Bridgetown. Taylor, who is aiming for her third World title in a row, dominated en route to beating Araujo 20-5.
.
The 24-year old Bray woman will now meet Anastasia Belyakova of Russia in Wednesday’s quarter-final just one bout away from claiming at least bronze - and three bouts away from an historic hat-trick of World titles.
.
Meantime, Murphy, of the Eastside BC in Belfast, was beaten 21-4 by reigning AIBA World light-welterweight champion Gulsom Tatar of Turkey.
.
Murphy produced a fine first round and moved to within two points of Tatar early in the second but the Turk pulled away from that point on to book her ticket into the last eight.
.
Kavanagh, who boxes out of the Drimnagh BC in Dublin, was reinistated in the tournament on Sunday after her last-32 opponent, Wided Younsi of Tunisia, admitted that she had once boxed professionally, a confession which led to her disqualification and suspension.
.
Consequently, Kavanagh met Chinese middleweight Ll Jinzi in the early hours of this morning. The Drimnagh middleweight found herself 6-2 down at the end of the second round of this 75Kg clash - Jinzi claimed the first frame 2-0 - but scored the only point of the third to reduce the deficit to three points.
.
However, Jinzi registered the only points of the fourth and final round to advance to the last eight on a 9-3 verdict.

There was double disappointment for Ireland at the 6th AIBA World Women’s Championships in Barbados last night following preliminary round defeats for Ceire Smith and Sinead Kavanagh.
Cavan flyweight Smith, at 17 the youngest member of the four-strong Irish squad, was beaten 14-1 by Nilmini Jayasinghe of Sri Lanka despite a spirited performance at the Garfield Sobers Gym in Bridgetown.
Dublin middleweight Kavanagh lost out 14-6 to Wided Younsi of Tunisia.
Younsi was 5-2 up at the end of the first but Kavanagh bravely fought back to level affairs at 6-6 before the conclusion of frame two.
However, the Tunisian kept Kavanagh scoreless whilst adding another eight points to her total in the final two rounds.
Katie Taylor, who is targeting her third World 60Kg title on the trot, meets Neetu Chahal in the last 32 tonight.
The last 32-bout should go ahead between 1am and 2am Sunday morning Irish time.
Belfast light-welterweight Allana Murphy will be in action against reigning World champion Gulsum Tatar of Turkey on Monday.
The clash is a repeat of last month’s European Union meeting which Tatar won 4-0.
Women’s senior bouts are contested over four, two minute rounds.

Katie Taylor moved to within three bouts of retaining her European Union lightweight title with an 8-0 decision over Spain’s Jennifer Miranda in Keszthely, Hungary today.

Drimnagh BC middleweight Sinead Kavanagh and Allana Murphy of the East Side BC in Belfast will also be involved in quarter-final bouts tomorrow.
