Tayla Harris continues to dominate in the boxing ring
AFLW star Tayla Harris has continued her unbeaten record in the boxing ring, claiming the vacant Australian super welterweight title.
Harris improved her undefeated record to 7-0-1 from eight professional fights and added a second national title after claiming the Australian middleweight belt last month.
The 22-year-old proved too good for her opponent Janay Harding, winning via a TKO in the fourth round.
The first three rounds were fairly even but the AFLW star took over in the fourth with a flurry of left-right combinations followed by a final knock-out blow.

Referees ended the fight following the knockout punch, handing the championship to Harris.
In the lead-up to the fight, Harris declared the bout for a second national title was a "turning point" in her boxing career.
"It is vital for me to make a statement," Harris told the Herald Sun.
The women's sport trailblazer was famously at the centre of a major story earlier this year when she was the target of revolting trolls online after an incredible image of her kicking the ball at full extension went viral online.
In September this year, the iconic image was unveiled as a 3.3 metre bronze statue at Federation Square in Melbourne.
