Katie Taylor is having some deserved downtime in Italy alongside her new husband.
The boxing legend, who wed American property developer Sean McCavanagh earlier this year, posted on social media showing herself aboard a vessel on Lake Garda with her other half, with the simple caption “Lake Garda.”
Taylor and McCavanagh tied the knot in early 2025 during a ceremony believed to have been held in Ireland. The Bray native had sparked rumours that she was indeed hitched after being photographed sporting what looked like a wedding band ahead of her summer clash with Amanda Serrano.
Following her third victory over Serrano, Taylor’s father, Pete, revealed on a podcast that Katie had indeed walked down the aisle, reports the Irish Mirror. Over recent weeks, Taylor and her spouse have been seen together publicly on several occasions, including in Ireland where the pair visited a rehabilitation facility in Wicklow.
During that visit, Taylor chatted with the centre’s patients about her boxing career and the highs and lows that accompany professional sport. Taylor, who became stepmother to five children upon marrying McCavanagh, hasn’t stepped into the ring since July and the 39 year old’s future remains unclear.
It was expected that the 2012 Olympic gold medallist would hang up her gloves after that third encounter with Serrano, but three months later no concrete announcement regarding her future has been issued. Croke Park has frequently been mooted as a potential venue for Taylor’s final triumphant return to Ireland.
Despite the apparent desire of all parties involved, promoter Eddie Hearn is sceptical about its likelihood. “After the last fight with Amanda Serrano, it’s the first time I’ve heard her say in a press conference ‘if I fight again’,” Hearn revealed to Sky Sports in August.
“It’s been a remarkable career. It would be a great way to go out by winning the trilogy against Amanda Serrano but the lure of a Croke Park fight would be something quite spectacular”.
“If the Croke Park opportunity presents itself, it would be very difficult for her to turn down.”
