Katie Taylor: Dad won't be in my corner for Rio Olympics qualifier

Katie Taylor will not have her father Pete in her corner for the Olympic qualifiers in Turkey in six weeks’ time.

Pete Taylor stepped away temporarily from his role as coach to the multiple champion late last year after a decade overseeing his daughter’s career, though he may yet resume his position in time for the Games which start in August.

“My Dad is obviously just taking a bit of a break,” said Taylor. “He decided to take that break so when he’s ready to come back I’m delighted to welcome him back. For the time being, I have a great support system around, a great infrastructure, and Zaur is absolutely brilliant.”
