Katie Taylor is really motoring now.
The Bray boxer is now 2-0 in her professional boxing career after seeing off Viviane Obenauf with ease.
Taylor landed head- and body-shots at a canter and claimed a unanimous points decision during the Manchester bout.
Taylor survived some wild Obenauf swings, came off the better after an accidental clash of heads and even got a neck nuzzle in the closing stages.
Judging by the traffic on Twitter this evening, just about all of Ireland and a healthy chunk of the globe was following Taylor’s impressive progress.
Fellow, former Olympian Michael Conlan led the tributes
