Ireland's Katie Taylor made her professional debut in London last night where she beat Karina Kopinska via third round stoppage.
After leaving the amateur ranks as a five time world champion, six time European champion and Olympic gold medalist, her sights have been set on becoming a multiple weight professional champion.
We look at some of the memorable images from a fantastic night at the SSE Arena, Wembley:

Eddie Hearn has big plans for Taylor. She is now due to fight in December on Anthony Joshua's undercard and is being lined up for a fight at Madison Square Garden on St. Patrick's weekend when middleweight king Gennady Golovkin is due to defend his titles.
Perfect start. Big thanks to everyone for all of the support. Onto the next one... #Dec10th pic.twitter.com/5hmFbG5QSN
