“People laughed at me when I said I wanted to be an Olympic champion. They never would have believed this.” 2012 gold medalist Katie Taylor (KatieTaylor) will headline at Madison Square Garden tonight
Her ascent seemed unstoppable—until it nearly unraveled. In 2016, Taylor abruptly split from Pete.

She teamed up with Enamait. “I started to enjoy it again,” says Taylor.I’ve been seriously considering turning pro the last few months,Initially, Hearn was skeptical. “Women’s boxing, on a commercial level, didn’t exist,” says Hearn. But he knew Taylor had a global profile. And a fan base. So he signed her.
