Katie Taylor defeats Karen Elizabeth Carabajal in London

Katie Taylor successfully defended her world lightweight titles for a seventh time on Saturday night by beating Karen Elizabeth Carabajal.

The undisputed and undefeated champion won via unanimous decision after dominating the bout over ten rounds after which the challenger was left with blood gushing down the right side of her face due to a cut near her eye.

In the same venue where her professional debut came against Poland's Karina Kopinska in 2016 and where she defeated Spaniard Miriam Gutierrez just under two years ago, Taylor never looked in trouble throughout with the three judges scoring the bout 100-91, 99-91, 98-92 in her favour.
