It was a long time coming.
Katie Taylor was always one of the good ones.
Countless amateur titles culminated in an Olympic gold, the pinnacle.
Well, we thought it was the pinnacle but Taylor herself described Saturday night as the biggest of her career.
The Bray fighter won comfortably in the end with all judges scoring it at 99-90 to Taylor.
It was a masterclass and Taylor revealed she wants to unify all the belts.
Well, back home and across the globe, you could tell all the Irish were watching.
There were joyous scenes across social media.
