QUOTES BY Katie Taylor


My training diet can be quite strict when I'm coming up to competition; it's a weight-making sport, of course. But I eat quite healthily anyway, and it's less strict when out of competition.

I'd like to thank everyone for all their support and prayers. I'm so humbled by that.

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.

I want to go down in the history books as one of the greatest female boxers of all time, and I think I'm on the right path.

I have a lot of confidence in myself, and I love that challenge as well. I love going to every competition as the favourite. It's something I relish.

I owe so much to my dad and what he has done for me. And it's hard work doing what he has done, so he's entitled to a break.

It's the training that's the hardest. It's the preparation. The months and months of preparation that nobody really sees, that's the hardest part.

I wouldn't be where I am without my dad. He's a genius.

When you're so consistent, people have to stand up and take notice. I don't think people recognise or praise consistency enough.
