Katie Taylor consoled by mum and Conor McGregor after first loss in 3Arena

Katie Taylor was comforted by her mum and pal Conor McGregor after losing her first career bout in Dublin last night.

The Bray fighter suffered a shock defeat at the hands of her English opponent but did seem to leave relatively unscathed. The 2012 Olympic gold medal winner was greeted by an electric crowd in Dublin's 3Arena as she entered the ring with a strong 9,000 crowd in attendance in a night to remember in Dublin.

The fight went the full 10 rounds with two of the three judges scoring the bout in favour of Cameron with a scorecards of 96-94 while the other two judges had called a draw. After the bout, Katie was comforted by her beloved mum Bridget and UFC fighter Conor McGregor, who has supported the Bray boxer in her homecoming fight journey.
