Lauren Price made an emphatic first defence of the WBA welterweight title after stopping Colombian Bexcy Mateus at Exhibition Centre Liverpool.
A one-sided contest ended in round three as Welsh boxer Price showcased her enviable punching power by flooring her opponent, and the referee called a halt to proceedings.
Mateus hit the canvas in all three rounds as Tokyo Olympic gold medallist Price proved on a different level to her opponent.
"I enjoyed myself in there tonight," Price told Sky Sports. "I knew she had a good record, but I've had a great camp and on we move.
"Fight by fight I keep learning, keep developing. I've still got so much more to come.
"You have seen tonight now, I'm not just all about speed. I can bang as well, so happy days!"
