The Bray native is notoriously private, with not much known about her life outside boxing.
However, the 35-year-old has revealed some details about her adopted home in rural America where she has been living for almost six years.
Katie moved to Vernon, Connecticut in September 2016. The small town lies around 150km outside Boston and has a population of just over 30,000 which is less than that of her hometown of Bray.
She bought her first home there in 2019, which many people do not know about. It sits atop a hill and is surrounded by woods.
Katie previously said she loved “the quietness” of the location, telling ESPN: "I just love the quietness, really. Especially when you're in the thick of training and I don't need any loud neighbours or anything like that. For training camp, that type of house is definitely perfect."
However there is one aspect of the location that she’s not all that fond of - the hills. She previously told Boxing Scene how she has to come down one to leave her house and up one to go anywhere else.
“I can't get away from the hills unfortunately. It's probably the least enjoyable part of training for me, the running sessions. I actually can't sleep the night before, that's how much I hate it. But it has to be done unfortunately,” she said.
Luckily she does not need to face the hills every time she wants to train, as she has installed a state-of-the-art gym downstairs where she trains.
She regularly shares videos of herself training in a gym on Instagram, however she has not confirmed its location.
Her house is located near the the Connecticut River, which inspired Katie to buy a speedboat.
She recently shared a video of her driving a boat on her Instagram page.
Talking about the “impulse buy” she told The42: “I have it docked around 30 minutes away from me. It was just pretty much… I was out kayaking one day and I saw a little speedboat going out on the lake. I just got a bit of an urge to test one out. It just looked like great fun.
“That’s pretty much how I got a passion for speedboats. It was a bit of an impulse buy but it’s been just a great buzz. It’s a great way to spend a bit of time off, being on the water. There’s just something about the water… It’s so peaceful out there, I could spend all day on the water, really. Just by the sea, by the lake — I just love times like that.”
She joked: “I usually go out with a few friends. I still can’t dock the boat yet, so… I need someone else there with me to actually dock it! I’m still learning that.
“So, I’ll usually go out with a couple of friends but it’s just a great time to spend a few hours out on the water. It’s just fantastic.”
