Regarded as THE outstanding Irish athlete of her generation, champion Katie discussed her upcoming "Once Upon a Time" fight with Flora Pilli, taking place in Croke Park on Saturday September 5th, which will serve as the final act for her boxing career. Referring to her decade in the sport of pro boxing, she says "this seems like the perfect way to end it" and she told Pat that it was 100% her decision to call time on her time as a professional boxer.
Pat also queried what Katie has on her gym playlist - the type of music she likes to listen to when she's getting ready to go a few rounds in the ring!
You can hear her answer and more below:
When Taylor takes on Pilli in GAA headquarters on September 5th, it will be the first time a professional boxing event has been staged at the historic Dublin stadium since the late, great Muhammad Ali famously fought Detroit heavyweight Alvin ‘Blue' Lewis back in 1972.
The legendary London 2012 Olympic Gold Medallist and two-weight queen of boxing (25-1, 6 KOs) returns home for what promises to be a special night in front of over 80,000 supporters at Ireland’s premier concert & events venue – where she will bid to become a three-time Undisputed champion of the world.
