Katie Taylor joked that she thinks she would be “a very intense parent” as she discussed the possibility of having children in the future.<\/p>\n
The boxing great also revealed how her husband Sean is much more laid-back than her, saying that “opposites attract”.<\/p>\n
Taylor <\/a>was speaking at a fan event at the Gleneagle Arena in Killarney on Friday night, discussing the highlights of her career and suggesting that there could still be more big fights to come.<\/p>\n The 39-year-old married real estate agent Sean McCavanagh <\/a>early last year and lives with the American in Connecticut, where she has been based since turning professional in 2016.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I\u2019d be a very intense parent to a kid,\u201d she said at Friday’s event, according to The Sunday Times.<\/a> \u201cCan you imagine little five-year-old Katie Jr on a football field? I\u2019m saying \u2018come on now, work through the pain barrier\u2019.<\/p>\n “But thankfully my husband Sean is the most laid-back, chilled guy in the world. It\u2019s actually quite funny. I\u2019m so intense and he\u2019s so laid-back. Opposites attract I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n Katie Taylor with her husband Sean (wearing cap), mother Bridget and Senator Aubrey McCarthy(Image: )<\/p>\n Taylor returned home to Wicklow with Sean in September and told how \u201clove snuck up on her\u201d when she appeared on the Late Late Show last month.<\/p>\n She revealed to host Patrick Kielty<\/a>: “I think since I was a teenager, I\u2019ve been so focused on boxing, I left very little room for relationships.<\/p>\n “And honestly, even the thought of a relationship was out of the question for me. So it\u2019s so lovely that love snuck up in the later stages of my career.<\/p>\n “Myself and my husband Sean live a lovely, quiet life in Connecticut. And we\u2019re very happy, thank God.”<\/p>\n Taylor recorded her third victory over Amanda Serran<\/a>o on a magical night at Madison Square Garden last July, with many expecting the 2012 Olympic gold medallist to retire after that fight.<\/p>\n However, it looks likely that she will continue fighting, with bouts at Croke Park<\/a> and in Las Vegas top of her wishlist.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think I need another fight. But I do want another fight,” Taylor added at Friday’s event. “It needs to be a fight that\u2019s going to excite me. It needs to be the right fight. It needs to be the right location.<\/p>\n “I\u2019d love a fight in Croke Park. I\u2019ve always wanted to fight in Vegas as well. Would you all like to go to Vegas for the weekend? But it needs to be the right fight and my team are working on that at the moment. We\u2019ll see what happens.”<\/p>\n![\"Katie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0_Katie-Taylor-with-her-husband-Sean-wearing-cap-mother-Bridget-and-Senator-Aubrey-McCarthy.png\")
