The last time RTE screened live professional boxing - for the Casey-Rigondeaux fight - they had 299,000 viewers, peaking at 429,000

Katie Taylor's final fight, which saw the Bray boxer become three-time undisputed champion of the world, drew an audience peak of 1.6 million on Saturday night on RTÉ television.

The event also had over half a million streams (552,000) on RTÉ Player.

The programme had an average of 973,000 TV viewers, representing a 74% share of the available viewing audience.

Radio coverage was also provided by 2FM.
