Not long afterwards, Paddy Barnes, one of her Irish Olympic boxing team comrades, tweeted his congratulations but also threw down a gauntlet, asking could she match his two Commonwealth Games titles.

Taylor responded this morning, in one tweet knocking Barnes, the Commonwealth Games and probably her own mother's pugilistic abilities.

After the RTÉ Sport Twitter account tweeted out a screenshot of the Barnes and Taylor exchange asking "Score this round to @KatieTaylor?", the Belfast boxer took umbrage with their lack of screentime for amateur boxing.
