KATIE TAYLOR finally became a Leeds hero by defending her undisputed lightweight crown in her favourite footballing city. The 34-year-old Irish legend and ex-international footballer was a Leeds United superfan growing up, getting new shirts for every Christmas and admiring hardnuts like Lee Bowyer and Alan Smith. And she now has a Yorkshire win under her belts after outpouring tough American supermum Jennifer Han at Headingley. On Josh Warrington's undercard, Taylor dropped Han in round eight before the judges gave the London 2012 golden girl a unanimous decision to take her to 19-0.
