Katie Taylor shares touching embrace with her father Pete after weighing-in for Karen Elizabeth Carabajal fight

Katie Taylor shared a touching embrace with her father Pete after weighing-in for her massive fight with Karen Elizabeth Carabajal.

'The Bray Bomber' will headline Saturday night's card when she steps into the ring to face the undefeated Argentinian in the main event of the evening. Tomorrow's fight at the Wembley Arena will be Taylor's first bout since she defeated Amanda Serrano in an all-time classic at Madison Square Garden earlier this year.

On Friday afternoon, Taylor weighed-in at 134.6 lbs, while her opponent Carabajal weighed in at 134.2 lbs. Both women were comfortably under the weight limit of 135 lbs. After the weigh-in, cameras were on hand to capture the lovely image of Katie and her father embracing. Both father and daughter were smiling ear-to-ear when they bumped into each other backstage.
