Irish boxer Katie Taylor has said that she felt tired during the women's lightweight boxing final at the European Games.
Despite her fatigue, Taylor was able to produce a dominant performance against France's Estelle Mossely to win by unanimous decision.
"I felt a little differently to be honest. I thought she was causing me a little bit of trouble," Taylor told Inside the Games.
"I just felt a little bit tired, my feinting wasn't there. I should have been feinting a little bit more.
"It was just one of those things. Sometimes you go into the ring feeling a little bit tired. You still have to dig deep and pull through and that's the sign of a great champion."
Taylor added the European Games crown to her 2012 Olympics and 2014 World Championship gold medals.
