Boxing coach Pete Taylor is on the road to recovery back lifting weights four months after he suffered a “freak injury” in Barcelona.
Pete, 59, the father of Olympic boxing legend Katie Taylor, previously explained that the accident occurred when he was chasing a thief. He ruptured his bi-lateral quads in both his legs which left him in casts and wheelchair bound for months.
He had to learn to walk again and back then he praised his long-time partner and now wife Karen Browne who he married last year in Majorca. “This is my angel, she washed and cleaned my arm twice a day for 18 months now she’s wheeling me up and down in a wheelchair for the next 12 weeks and will be helping me to walk again,” he said.
