Katie Taylor has done the magic yet again – this time against a very formidable opponent.

Having made her debut as a professional in November of 2016, Katie Taylor has already become a huge name in the world of boxing having won her first six professional contests and claimed the WBA lightweight title in the process.

Tonight, the Wicklow woman was put to the pin of her collar in a fight against a powerful Jessica McCaskill.

Katie managed to gain victory after a very hard fought fight that saw the Wicklow woman rocked several times.

Thankfully she has managed to successfully defend her title.
