Katie Taylor has stood by her father, following criticism from Kellie Harrington in her new book.
Harrington sparked a war of words after she heavily criticised former national women’s boxing head coach Pete Taylor and the Irish Athletic and Boxing Association (IABA). In Her book, Kellie wrote that she felt women boxers were held back because Pete "didn't see past Katie."
However, Katie has come out to defend her dad, giving her support in an Instagram post. She wrote: "In as much as people have given me credit for the inclusion of women’s boxing in the Olympics, it would not have happened without my da tirelessly campaigning outside the ring.
