Many of course, expected Taylor to win tonight, but it was predicted it would have been her toughest challenge yet, especially considering Koleva had recently fought for a world-title.
Taylor allayed any of these concerns with a dominating performance - the highlight of which was knocking down the 28-year-old Bulgarian in the seventh round after a ferocious flurry of punches.

One man who was in awe of her performance was English boxing's man of the moment, Tony Bellew.
Bellew, who headlined the card that Taylor most recently fought on, was glowing in his praise of one of Bray's most precious sporting talents.
"She's an absolute class act, the punches she throws, the variety in her shots. She's just...she's the full package. She's just gone in there tonight against a former world-title challenger and she hurt her on multiple occasions," Bellew told Sky Sports.As we mentioned, it was the combinations from Taylor which really impressed us and they weren't lost on Bellew either.
"As you see here, the combination punching from her is outstanding. I am a Katie Taylor fan. I am someone who turned up and I was cheering for her tonight as you guys heard...she's a breath of fresh air and she's fantastic for the sport."A glowing endorsement indeed, and we cannot wait until we see Taylor in the ring again. https://twitter.com/Sean_McMahon89/status/845754930120069121
