Katie Taylor has taken to social media to pay tribute to her father Pete Taylor for the influence he has had on her career and women's boxing in general.
Prior to 2016, Pete Taylor was in Katie's corner for virtually every fight of her career to that point. Since then however, the pair have parted ways professionally, with Katie linking up with current trainer Ross Enamait six years ago.
Katie returned to the ring this Saturday and defeated Karen Elizabeth Carabajal on a card that featured Pete Taylor trained Gary Cully. During fight week, the two Taylor's shared a warm embrace backstage after the weigh-in. This evening, Katie has posted an emotional message on Instagram praising her father and longtime trainer.
