You have voted Katie Taylor as your Sportswoman of the Month for April.
The Irish sensation made it five wins in five months as a professional when she beat Nina Meinke on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's heavyweight unification clash with Wladimir Klitschko last month.
Taylor's seventh round stoppage win saw her claim the WBA lightweight inter-continental title and the Bray boxer is now in line to challenge Cecilia Comunales for the outright WBA title.
Taylor collected 48 per cent of the vote in April's Sportswomen poll as she finished ahead of gymnast Ellie Downie [27 per cent] and cyclist Elinor Barker [14 per cent].
"I'm delighted to be named Sportswoman of the Month for April," Taylor told Tuesday's Sportswomen show on Sky Sports News HQ.
"Thank you so much for the votes. It means an awful lot so thank you so much."
