A biography for Katie Taylorhasn’t been written yet.
“I can enjoy myself and express myself in the ring.”
“I'm in the public eye. I'm recognised a small bit more. That's part and parcel of it.”
“I would love to be able to speak my own language and maybe have an interview in Irish, maybe after my fights.”
“It is frustrating, but all I can do is just keep winning, and hopefully, people will stand up and take notice eventually.”
“I became number one just after the World Championships in India. I was very young then, and I remember it was just a great feeling, my first World Championship.”
“The heaviest I've ever been is 65 kilos. That was during my Leaving Cert when I was just studying and eating chocolate.”
“I'd love to have a chance to fight in the World Series Boxing for women, but nothing has been done about that.”
“I've had losses in my career before, and I've always come back stronger from those losses.”
“I wouldn't really call myself a feminist. I obviously want equality and equal opportunities to the men.”
“I've been offered a few professional contracts... in the hundreds and thousands.”
“I always feel like the freshest boxer going into competitions.”
“When you're so consistent, people have to stand up and take notice. I don't think people recognise or praise consistency enough.”
“I'd like to thank everyone for all their support and prayers. I'm so humbled by that.”
“I'm the one that everyone is trying to beat.”
“People say, 'You will be 30 years old; you're too old. You'll get your nose broke,' say dad's a pushy dad. You hear stupid things and put them out of your mind.”
“You're clearing your mind during a workout. Boxing is a great sport for girls; it's really safe.”
“Anything other than a gold medal will be disappointing.”
“I can definitely box on the front foot as well as the back foot. I don't think that's really an issue.”
“I just happen to be a woman and involved in sport, but that doesn't necessarily make me a feminist.”
“I do a good job of staying positive and just moving on.”
