Katie Taylor faces Amanda Serrano for the second time this week
Katie Taylor is all set for what she has described as the biggest fight of her career this week as she prepares to make more history.
The pair went their separate ways in 2016 - less than four years after Katie's Olympic success- following the breakdown of Pete's marriage to the boxer's mother Bridget. She said: "I would describe that whole year as 'turmoil', there was a lot of turmoil within our family relationships and it is no secret at this stage that myself and my dad parted ways throughout that year and my whole training regime was turned upside down.
"It was hard enough in the corner before and now you see her and her head's out here...black eyes, cuts."And I'm not being discriminate, but I don't like female professional boxing to tell you the truth." "I just felt like every time I was stepping into the ring without my dad at that time, I was missing an arm."
"There’s not many people who’d risk losing a European, World and Olympic title by not having your father as a coach.The pair do seem to have a relationship again, with Gary Cully, who was trained by Pete, fighting on two of Katie's cards in recent years.
