KATIE Taylor will be cheered on by her whole family tonight as she battles Amanda Serrano for a third time. After months of hints, it's been confirmed in the lead-up to this match-up that she has fully reconciled with dad Pete to the point that he has helped with her training camp. Here, SunSport delves into their complicated past as well as her wider family life: ESTRANGED YEARS They were estranged for roughly three years after Pete, 61, left Katie's mother for now wife Karen Brown. Karen, 35, was a close pal of Katie's prior to the revelation. The strain of her parents' marriage breaking down clearly affected Katie's preparations for the 2016 Olympics. Without her dad in her corner for the first time, she under-performed and was upset at the quarter-final stage by Finland's Mira Potkonen. The first breadcrumb that she had begun to mend fences with Pete came in 2019 when they were pictured together again. English-born Pete has previously credited her for essentially sacrificing another Olympic gold medal in order to stand by her mother at the time. Speaking in 2019, he reflected: “She has good morals. She said if you’ve split up with my mother then I don’t want you in my corner. “She knew what the outcome would be. She knew that she’d be missing me in the corner but she still had the morals to go ahead and do that. “You’ve got to respect that. She was reared good. There’s not many people who’d risk losing a European, Worlds and Olympic title by not having your father as a coach." WIDER FAMILY Katie has two brothers named Lee and Peter as well as a sister called Sarah. Katie is the baby of the bunch. Mother Bridget has been a rock throughout Katie's entire ring career. In an interview with MummyPages, Bridget shared what a 'tomboy' Katie was growing up. She recalled: "Katie was a tomboy; she wouldn’t have been your typical girl. I have two girls and two sons. "Katie was very close to her older brother, there’s only a year and a couple of months between them, other people used to think they were twins when they were growing up! "They would have played a lot of sport together. They played a lot of football on the bank where we lived and they were in running club together. "She was just really good at sports when she was younger, all kinds of sports. She was really good at sprinting, she ran for the county, she won a few county medal and an all schools 1500m race as well. "She played soccer for Ireland too, she captained the team." DATING HISTORY Katie tends to keep this part of her private life just that. It's very noticeable that about the only time the mild-mannered Bray native gets irked during interviews is when she's quizzed about her love life. In one exchange with The Athletic she told of how it is her least favourite line of inquiry. Taylor outlined: "Probably the question about relationships. That's another question people always ask. I guess people are just interested in my personal life. "I get it all the time. It's a bit annoying at times but I'm just polite and get on with it. I don't think male boxers get asked it, though." She's also previously explained to The Irish Mirror that her obsession with her craft leaves little to no time to dedicate to dating. She said: "I'm not [seeing anyone] at the moment, I really genuinely haven't got the time. I'm just out in America training hard at the moment but who knows what could happen in the future."
