Katie Taylor's proud dad and former coach Pete Taylor took to Instagram to pay tribute to his daughter with an emotional message after her historic title defence against Amanda Serrano in New York last night.
Alongside a picture of Katie with the tricolour after last night's fight, Pete Taylor wrote: "Proud of her inside and out of the ring, for all that she is and all she has achieved."
The Bray puncher survived a barrage from her Puerto Rican rival in the fifth round and wrestled back control of a compelling fight in the closing rounds - winning a bout that will go down in history as one of the great Madison Square Garden scraps.
