Katie Taylor shows grace and ringcraft blatantly lacking in Paul v Tyson charade | Donald McRae

Softly spoken Irish fighter delivers on and off the canvas in stark contrast to hollow influencer’s win over former champion

Jake Paul and Katie Taylor provide a study in contrast that would be amusing if it did not contain such stark truths about the different strands of boxing they represent. The brash YouTube influencer, Paul, is now a novice boxer making $40m (£31.7m) in a contrived bout as he continues to change the landscape of the fight game with his crudely effective business strategies.

Taylor remains the quiet, pioneering Christian who has done more than anyone for female boxers around the world while drawing on her incredible will to prevail in one brutal fight after another.
