The decision was never in doubt at Wembley on Saturday night when Katie Taylor won every round to retain all the belts at lightweight and her iconic status.
Taylor won for the 22nd time as a professional boxer when she beat the previously unbeaten Karen Elizabeth Carabajal, in front of a devoted flock of flag-waving fanatics. It is possible that with the glittering belts – too many to list – she also deserves to be called the most loved boxer on the planet. Hey, that is a rare title.
