I would love to be able to speak my own language and maybe have an interview in Irish, maybe after my fights.
From Katie Taylor
I love playing for Ireland, and I love soccer, but when it comes down to it, I would choose boxing as my number one sport, as I'd miss it too much if I wasn't involved.
Fighting at the Olympics has been my lifelong dream, and I cannot believe I am there now.
There's not a lot of positive role models of women in newspapers and magazines. I think it puts pressure on girls. They think that the image put out, it's the way you have to look.
Sport is a great way to keep fit. It's a stress reliever.
You're clearing your mind during a workout. Boxing is a great sport for girls; it's really safe.
It's so true: the fight is won or lost in the gym, and those words really stuck with me throughout my career.
No world championship has been easy for me.
Every fight has been hard. Every world title I've won has been hard fought, and every European title I've won has been hard fought as well.
I'm just sorry I couldn't come home with a second Olympic gold medal.
