And when Taubay’s head rocked back under another pummelling, the referee stepped in and counted.Lawless of the Four Kings Boxing Club in Wicklow won her second world gold inside a year on Saturday afternoon.
The North Korean sought a way back in the last round, but Lawless was able to use her stature to stay in command. “As I said before, remember the name, Adam Olaniyan,” former world champion Andy Lee wrote on X after a superb display by the Dubliner.
