It took minutes to convince everybody that Katie Taylor truly did deserve a final fight in front of 80,000 people at Croke Park in Dublin on Saturday night.
The tickets went on sale and then the tickets for boxing's greatest final fight sold out; it was all over in 30 minutes of trading, and Taylor's position as one of the most popular fighters in history was secure.
The journey to the very end of the boxing line started so long ago when Taylor, with her hair in braids tucked inside a headguard, posed as a boy to have her first fight. A legend was born on a tiny amateur show, and the girl from Bray was on her way.

The battle for equality was on; Taylor moved through the ranks, became the star of the Irish boxing team, won medals in tournaments all over the world and then won the Olympic ***** le in London in 2012.
