Michael Conlan leads tributes as Katie Taylor makes another emphatic statement

Katie Taylor is really motoring now.

The Bray boxer is now 2-0 in her professional boxing career after seeing off Viviane Obenauf with ease.

Taylor landed head- and body-shots at a canter and claimed a unanimous points decision during the Manchester bout.

Taylor survived some wild Obenauf swings, came off the better after an accidental clash of heads and even got a neck nuzzle in the closing stages.

Judging by the traffic on Twitter this evening, just about all of Ireland and a healthy chunk of the globe was following Taylor’s impressive progress.

Fellow, former Olympian Michael Conlan led the tributes

Well done again @KatieTaylor #champ
