Potential Katie Taylor opponent Cris Cyborg picked up a dominant decision win in her second professional boxing match overnight.
The Brazilian dominated her opponent Gabby Holloway on her way to clinching a resounding unanimous decision victory.
Cyborg used her reach to her advantage and picked apart Holloway from the very first bell. The American just couldn't get going and was seriously overmatched.

In the end, Cyborg was given a comprehensive victory by the judges, with all three awarding her a wide margin of victory in the four round bout.
While the 37-year-old Cyborg is only two fights into her pro-career she is by no means a novice. The Brazilian is an MMA legend and held world titles in the UFC and Bellator.
In the past, she has been linked to a future fight with Ireland's Katie Taylor. Back in June, Cyborg exclusively told the Irish Mirror that she was willing to fight Katie Taylor at Croke Park.
"To make it interesting for the fans she would have to be willing to do what Floyd Mayweather did against Conor McGregor and she would have to come up in weight a little bit to give the fans the biggest fight that can be made in women's boxing," Cyborg said.
"Realistically I think the fight would have to happen at 143lbs, but I think it would be a great fight for both of us and we could share a part of our soul with the crowd that night."
Recently, Taylor's promoter Eddie Hearn gave an update on a potential 2023 fight in Croke Park:
"Obviously, our priority is to make the rematch with Katie Taylor.
"At the same time, we’d like to do a two-fight deal with them. There’s a massive opportunity for Serrano to fight Cruz and then Taylor in the big rematch."
"For Serrano to become undisputed at 126 and then fight Katie again for the undisputed at 135 at Croke Park in Dublin, it would make that rematch even bigger if you can imagine that."
Hearn added: “We need to move on Katie’s next fight."
