A great feeling to wake up as Unified World Champion! Thanks to everyone for the support. #AllTheBelts

I didn’t see a single person tweeting about Katie Taylor. Weird how her pro career has already stopped being special. Should be handled a lot better.

Huge congrats to @KatieTaylor #UnifiedChamp

What does it say about the depth of women’s pro boxing when Katie Taylor’s opponent tonight Victoria Bustos, has fought 22 times and 21 of her opponents have been fellow Argentines and she’s been IBF champion for 5 years. Katie’s got to have had much tougher fights as an amateur.

Brilliant from @KatieTaylor

- the new unified World Champion!

John Joe Nevin @johnJoeNevin

What a performance by @KatieTaylor your on top of the world congratulations now unified champion

Meanwhile, Katie Walsh and Nina Carberry have called to an end their glittering careers as amateur jockeys...

Amy Lynam @A_Lynam

Selfishly gutted to hear Katie Walsh has retired because I’ll miss watching her winning & constantly showing us how

good women can be in the saddle, so much so that we’re not supposed to differentiate anymore. Brilliant that it’s on her terms & injury-free #SomeWoman

Katie Walsh retired, Nina About to as well. Sad day for Irish Racing

Jessica Lamb @Thestonefox

Katie Walsh and Nina Carberry changed perceptions of female jockeys, they were pros in all but license code, and paved the way for Rachael Blackmore, Bryony Frost, and now Katie

Farrell to take that next step. It’s up to them now.

Adrian McGoldrick @AdrianAmcgold

Happy retirement to Katie Walsh on her retirement. A true professional and ambassador for racing both in Ireland and internationally. A new exciting chapter in her life beginning.

Nina Carberry @ninacarberry

I’d like to thank everyone for their lovely messages, I had a great career, thank you to all the owners & trainers that have supported me through all the years. Also my sponsor @ ODriscollONeil
