Katie Taylor has defeated Puerto Rico's Amanda Serrano in what was the first boxing match headlined by two women at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Taylor, who won a gold medal in the 2012 Olympics, stays undefeated and improved her career record to 21-0 with six knockouts.
The 35-year-old from Bray, County Wicklow, won in a split decision in front of a capacity crowd at the Garden, successfully defending her women's lightweight titles in the WBA, IBF, WBO and WBC.
According to a CNN report, the bout ended in spectacular fashion as both fighters, visibly exhausted, desperately tried to land their final punches. Taylor is pictured here atop the Empire State Building prior to her fight. Photo from INPHO/Matchroom Boxing/Ed Mulholland.
