Katie Taylor cruised to victory in her second professional fight on Saturday night against Brazilian fighter Viviane Obenauf.
After a disappointing Olympics, the Irish boxer showed exactly what she was made of and was declared the winner by unanimous decision with a 60-53 advantage on the scorecards.
It was one-way traffic for the majority of the bout, and fellow boxers were quick to congratulate her on a stunning performance.
Well done again @KatieTaylor #champ

After starting her professional career 2-0, Taylor will now be looking ahead to her next step, as she continues to display just how talented she is.
Must be a strong chance of Katie Taylor being on bill for Joshua v Klitschko at Wembley Stadium next April.
