Katie Taylor made another successful defence of her undisputed lightweight title, as she handily outscored Karen Elizabeth Carabajal over ten rounds at the Wembley Arena.
Taylor (22-0, KO6) had long reigned as undisputed champion, and had most recently overcame Amanda Serrano, her closest rival, at Madison Square Garden in New York back in April. A rematch between the two had been mooted. Carabajal (19-1, KO2) had never fought outside her native Argentina, and was competing levels above her usual level.
Scores of 100-91, 99-91 and 98-92 were enough for the Irishwoman to retain her WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO titles.

Johnny Fisher (7-0, KO6) secured the quickest win of his pro career, as he halted Dominik Musil (7-5, KO5) inside a round. The Romford heavyweight dropped Musil twice with chopping right hands, and after a follow up attack, the referee waved the contest off.
