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.
A large number of the crowd were also present to see Katie Taylor win her second professional bout in style against Brazilian fighter Viviane Obenauf.
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.
This being said, one famous face in the crowd also got people tweeting.

While Katie Taylor's shot-selection and decision making in the ring was excellent, meanwhile, one Manchester United attacker Memphis Depay might be having regrets about his choice of outfit.
It didn't go unnoticed.
