Most read in Boxing "I want to share with you two quick thoughts that have helped me get the best out of myself on those big nights. "The first is simply acknowledging the privilege of being part of big games like this. Pete Taylor opens up on training with Katie Taylor "There is no right to win, it must be earned every game, every fight, every tackle, every minute. "The second thought I want to share is calm my nerves. "Every athlete knows that there are so many variables on any given day, and for reasons I can't fully control, sometimes I feel sharp and strong and my timing is perfect and sometimes it isn't. "This can lead to performance anxiety but, regardless of those things some of which are hard to control, I know that even if it isn't pretty, I am 100 percent confident that I'll go to the trenches if necessary.

"In both of our sports, it is often the case that the biggest will to win takes the spoils. "I hope all of the things you have practiced and all the tactics you have contemplated go your way. "I hope all the performances are worthy of your skills but, if not, I'm confident that your will and your courage will be enough. "After all, what else does it mean to be a Lion? We are with you all the way. Best of luck, guys, and God bless."

Is Katie Taylor married? 'Wedding ring' sparks speculation
Katie Taylor has sparked speculation over her current relationship status after being pictured wearing a ring on her left ring finger for a number of months. The Wicklow boxer has not given any indication that she is married but is notoriously quiet and private about her personal life. Katie was seen wearing the ring in the build-up to her trilogy fight with Amanda Serrano earlier this month in New York, where she once again beat the Puerto Rican. Katie Taylor has has a ring on her finger for a while now. Pic: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile The fighter was first seen wearing the ring earlier this year in April when she was promoting the third and final bout with Amanda. Katie has never given up much about her romantic life, telling The Athletic a while ago that she hated getting those types of questions in interviews. When asked what was her least favourite question to hear, she said: 'Probably the question about relationships. That's another question people always ask. I guess people are just interested in my personal life. 'I get it all the time. It's a bit annoying at times but I'm just polite and get on with it. I don't think male boxers get asked it, though.' However, in 2019, the 39-year-old did delve a bit deeper into her relationship status at the time in an interview with the Irish Mirror. She remarked: 'I'm not (seeing anyone) at the moment, I really genuinely haven't got the time. 'I'm just out in America training hard at the moment but who knows what could happen in the future.' Katie is very quiet about her relationship status. Pic: KT Later that year, her documentary was released and this again shared a bit more of an insight into Katie's romantic side. She said: 'Sometimes I think I'm a bit too single-minded where I only think about the next flight. 'I'm not too sure whether I want to get married, whether I want to have kids. 'I don't think I'd be able for that. I can hardly look after myself. 'I've definitely had opportunities where I've been in relationships with guys and stuff, but it's never really worked out. 'They just weren't the right guy, I guess. And I always felt like life was a lot easier as a single person when I am training so much. And I'm very, very happy as a single person as well, but I don't regret any decisions I've made.' Katie's Madison Square Garden fight was watched by millions around the world on Netflix in what could be the final time we see the Bray Bomber enter the ring as a professional boxer. Her retirement has long been speculated about but she did not give anything away after seeing off Amanda earlier this month. She said: 'I don't know (what the future holds), but I'm not fighting Amanda again, she hits too hard. 'I thought I boxed very well and very smart tonight, she didn't catch me as much as she did in the first two fights, and I'm delighted with the performance.' Katie did allude to a long-called for Croke Park fight, saying that it would be 'unbelievable', but promoter Eddie Hearn has repeatedly brushed off the idea of GAA HQ hosting a bout.

Katie Taylor sparks marriage speculation as she's pictured with 'wedding ring'
Katie Taylor has sparked speculation about wedding bells after being pictured wearing what appears to be a wedding ring. The legendary boxer was spotted wearing a ring on her left ring finger during the build-up to her fight with Amanda Serrano earlier this month, a bout which Taylor won to take her record against the Puerto Rican to 3-0. Taylor has made no comments to suggest that she has tied the knot, however, it does appear that she has been wearing the ring for a number of months now, with a first sighting in April of this year as she promoted her trilogy bout with Serrano. A notoriously private person, Taylor has only made very few comments about her romantic life in the past. In an interview with The Athletic some time ago, the 2012 Olympic champion revealed that questions about her relationship status are her least favourite. She said: "Probably the question about relationships. That's another question people always ask. I guess people are just interested in my personal life. Katie Taylor "I get it all the time. It's a bit annoying at times but I'm just polite and get on with it. I don't think male boxers get asked it, though." In an interview with the Irish Mirror in 2019, Taylor went into greater detail on her romantic life. "I'm not [seeing anyone] at the moment, I really genuinely haven't got the time," she commented at the time. "I'm just out in America training hard at the moment but who knows what could happen in the future." And in her 2019 documentary, she said: "Sometimes I think I'm a bit too single-minded where I only think about the next flight. "I'm not too sure whether I want to get married, whether I want to have kids." Katie Taylor wearing a ring on her left ring finger as she faces off with Amanda Serrano earlier this month (Image: (Photo by)) "I don't think I'd be able for that. I can hardly look after myself. "I've definitely had opportunities where I've been in relationships with guys and stuff, but it's never really worked out. "They just weren't the right guy, I guess. And I always felt like life was a lot easier as a single person when I am training so much. And I'm very, very happy as a single person as well, but I don't regret any decisions I've made." Taylor returned to the ring earlier this month, turning in a dominant display as she beat Serrano by unanimous decision at Madison Square Garden in New York. There had been speculation that the 'Bray Bomber' was set to retire after the bout, and she even hinted at hanging up her gloves in the aftermath of the contest, however, there has been no clarification on her fighting future yet. One thing that would likely keep her going would be a fight at Croke Park. However, promoter Eddie Hearn has poured cold water on such an event happening, telling the Irish Mirror: "When you look at Croke Park, I just don't think the people there are massive fans of boxing,". "I think they're fans of Katie Taylor, but I just don't think they really like boxing. But Katie Taylor is beyond boxing. "I mean, she's sport, but she's also history and heritage. And probably one of the greatest ever athletes from that country. Now you see the sports minister saying, after she beat Serrano, 'yeah, we should look at bringing Katie Taylor to Croke Park'. "We don't want handouts. We just want parity between Croke Park and Wembley Stadium in terms of the cost being the same. "But I don't know if she'll fight again. It probably is 50-50. And it's the first time I've ever heard her say, 'if I fight again'. But I think if we could go to Croke Park, that would certainly maybe twist her arm."
