Katie Taylor made a successful first defence of her WBA world lightweight title after a hard-fought battle with American Jessica McCaskill at York Hall.
The Bray native has made a superb transition into the professional ranks after a glittering amateur career and now has eight wins from eight after a unanimous points decision.

Taylor told Sky Sports: "It was very, very tough, probably the toughest fight of my career. I expected that, I had to be at my very best."
This was the first time a women's world title fight had topped the bill on a major night of boxing in the UK and the sold-out crowd in Bethnal Green roared on Taylor throughout.
The 31-year-old looked comfortable in the early rounds but McCaskill grew into the fight and landed a left hook in the sixth round to leave Taylor wobbling.
In the next round Taylor was docked a point for holding but she pulled away during the final couple of rounds and was a convincing winner on all the judges' scorecards, which read 97-92, 97-92, 98-91.
