Is Katie Taylor married or in a relationship? What the boxing star has said about her personal life

Katie Taylor's latest challenge comes against Argentina's Karen Elizabeth Carbajal on Saturday night.

The Bray Bomber will be hoping to successfully defend her world lightweight titles against the undefeated 32-year-old at the Wembley Arena in London.

Taylor revealed earlier this year that the question she hates being asked most is the one about relationships.

When asked what she hates being asked most by The Athletic, she replied: "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."

Taylor told The Irish Mirror in 2019 that she is so busy with boxing that she doesn't have time for a relationship.

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.”

The 2012 Olympic champion comes into Saturday's fight as the massive favourite and she has told fans that the best is yet to come from her.

She said: "I really genuinely believe that people haven't seen the best of me yet and I'm looking forward to showcasing that the best is yet to come. I don't live on past performances or past successes and I do genuinely believe that people haven't seen the best of me and I can't wait to showcase that."
