Irish boxing legend Andy Lee said Katie reconciles the differences by putting her destiny "in the hands of God". The "Bray Bomber" is the current undisputed lightweight champion and has had a glittering amateur career.
Her faith has been by her side all the way through her career. Katie is set for a historic homecoming fight on Saturday night in the 3Arena when she faces two weight class champion Chantelle Cameron.

Former WBO title holder Andy Lee said Katie gets her strength from her faith. He told the Untouchable: How Katie Taylor Changed The World podcast: "I think because she is such a humble person, her having that faith, it makes it easy for her to reconcile with her achievements.
"Being so humble, I think she has to give power to something else beyond herself. She can't take responsibility for all she has achieved so she gives it up to God because she believes what she is doing she wouldn't have achieved without her faith.
"I can understand that. It is a hard thing to explain and I hope I am making my point. For someone so humble to achieve all this greatness, I think she puts it in the hands of God.
"I think that is where she gets her strength from."
