It’s a bold look.
21,000 people packed into the Manchester Arena to see Anthony Joshua successfully defend his IBF heavyweight title against Eric Molina and in doing so, setting up the much-anticipated showdown with Wladimir Klitschko next April.
Much like she did last month when taking on Karina Kopinska, the Bray boxer delivered another huge performance in front of her biggest crowd to date, winning by unanimous decision, 60-53.
Yet again, Taylor reaffirmed her credentials as arguably the greatest female boxer ever, and plenty of people were quick to lavish the Olympic gold medalist with praise.
Thanks to everyone for the support last night. Awesome few weeks. 2-0 as a pro, and a big 2017 ahead! 👊 🙌

Katie Taylor in the ring now. Best female boxer I've ever seen.

This being said, one famous face in the crowd also got people talking.
While Katie Taylor’s shot-selection and decision making in the ring was excellent, Manchester United attacker Memphis Depay might be having regrets about his choice of outfit.
The Dutch international hasn’t got much screen-time on the pitch this campaign, making just four substitute appearances in the Premier League and starting just once for his club all season, but he certainly caught the eye at the Manchester Arena.
