Is Katie Taylor married? All we know about the Irish boxing sensation's personal life
Katie Taylor has grown to become one of the biggest names in women's boxing today. So, it is understandable for boxing fans to be interested in her personal life and to be curious whether Katie Taylor is married or not.
Is Katie Taylor married?
Katie Taylor is not married and according to Sportlens, the 38-year-old is not in a relationship with anyone and is a single woman.
During a 2022 interview with The Athletic, Taylor was asked about the one question she disliked from the media. The 38-year-old responded by saying that at times, she gets annoyed by people asking about her relationships and personal life:
"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." [H/T The Athletic]
In a 2019 interview with Irish Mirror, Taylor had said that her commitment to boxing does not allow her the time to engage in personal relationships. 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.” [H/T Irish Mirror]
Katie Taylor will return to competition against Amanda Serrano
After a dominant championship reign in the lightweight division, Katie Taylor moved up in weight to challenge Chantelle Cameron for the undisputed super lightweight championship in 2023. In her first attempt in May 2023, Taylor suffered a majority decision loss. However, she captured the titles in the November 2023 rematch by majority decision.
While Taylor had expressed the desire to finish the trilogy against Cameron in a mega-fight at Croke Park, Amanda Serrano was finalized as her opponent for the first super lightweight title defense. The fight was originally scheduled to take place on July 20 on the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson card. However, the event was postponed to Nov. 15 after Tyson's health scare.
Taylor and Serrano competed for the undisputed female lightweight championship in April 2022 and Taylor emerged victorious by split decision. It was Serrano's first professional boxing defeat in a decade. It will be interesting to see how the rematch plays out in another weight class.
