WE can say now that Katie Taylor’s

unbeaten record will survive engagement with Elizabeth Carabajal at Wembley next month.

The latter is a journeywoman, an unthreatening challenge for a champion who has designs on bigger challenges.

A rematch with Amanda Serrano, bidding to unify featherweight titles in Manchester last night, remains the prize.

But what is certain is that there will be no Dublin date for Taylor. Six years into her professional career, her greatness must be admired from afar – a sorry consequence of the chaos wrought by others.
