Katie Taylor battled her way into Irish sporting immortality on Saturday, outlasting one of the most powerful fighters in the world's most famous arena in the biggest fight in the history of women's boxing.
There appears to be no hyperbole unworthy of the undefeated, undisputed lightweight world champion, who slugged through 10 rounds against Puerto Rico's Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden, an iconic arena they were the first women to headline.
The 35-year-old, who lobbied for the inclusion of women's boxing in the Olympic programme before winning gold herself in 2012, once again lived up to fans' expectations, swinging wildly in the final rounds to secure the split-decision victory.
