Katie Taylor is a boxing sensation, and she is coming to the big screen…
A new feature length film documenting the life of Katie Taylor as she transitioned into professional boxing is released in Irish cinemas today!
Katie is directed by Ross Whitaker and picked up the Best Irish Feature Documentary award at the Galway Film Fleadh earlier this year.
The documentary follows world champion Katie Taylor as she attempts to rebuild her career after a year of turmoil threatened to derail it.
Despite being very private, the Bray native agreed to let a small crew document her attempt to reach the top once again.
Taylor won five world championships as an amateur, as well as an Olympic Gold medal at the London 2012 Games. She turned professional after a disastrous campaign at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, which saw her crash out in the first round despite being the favourite.
The champion boxer bounced back from this devastating low to win her first world title within a year of turning professional, and became the first woman in history to headline her own Sky Sports show.
The film unravels the deeply personal reasons behind her career low and shows Taylor’s grit and determination to start over as a professional.
Wildcard Distribution have released the official trailer for the critically Katie.
Ahead of the films release, SportsJOE are giving away a prize to one lucky fan. The prize includes an image, a cap and a pair of Lonsdale boxing gloves, ALL signed by Katie Taylor.
