Katie Taylor enjoying family time after yet another successful World Title defence

Katie Taylor has taken to Instagram to share an adorable snap of her spending some quality time with her family.

Fresh from her most recent successful defence of her undisputed lightweight crown, Katie has been resting up after Saturday night's win over Karen Elizabeth Carabajal in London.

On Sunday, Taylor took to social media to once again call for her next fight to take place in Croke Park. Today, Katie's post was of a different nature, as she shared a lovely pic of herself enjoying some family time.

The post, which is simply captioned 'family time,' shows Katie relaxing in what appears to be a café with a young member of the Taylor clan.

Ever since the final bell sounded on Saturday evening, Taylor and her promoter Eddie Hearn have called for Croke Park to be the location of Katie's next fight.

“Six years ago, we were here and people laughed at us," said Hearn after the fight.

"Katie didn't think we'd get the opportunity.

“It’s okay to jump on now, women’s boxing is great now and everyone wants to do it, but for almost thirty years Katie Taylor has been threading paths for others.

“She’s an icon of the sport of boxing.

“It’s time to return to Ireland now, whoever it is, wherever it is, Ireland has to be next for Katie Taylor.

“She deserves it more than anyone, she’s boxed all over the world, the Irish fans are incredible and they travel everywhere.

“It’s time to give Ireland a sporting event they will never forget, and that’s the return of their hero Katie Taylor."
