**Dublin, Ireland** – World champion boxer Katie Taylor has revealed the significant role her Christian faith plays in her success, stating she wouldn’t be able to fight without it. The born-again Christian, who previously attended St. Mark’s Pentecostal Church in Dublin, credits her religion as a source of strength and a key component of her pre-fight routine.
“I would not be able to step into the ring without God in my life,” Taylor said in a previous interview. She cites Psalm 18 as a mantra, believing it helps prepare her mentally for fights. Her mother, she adds, is a crucial part of both her spiritual and boxing support system.
Former boxer Andy Lee echoed this sentiment, noting Taylor’s humility and her attribution of her achievements to a higher power. “Being so humble, I think she has to give power to something else beyond herself,” Lee explained. “She can’t take responsibility for all she has achieved so she gives it up to God because she believes what she is doing she wouldn’t have achieved without her faith.” Lee believes this faith is the source of Taylor’s strength.
