On her Instagram, she reposted a tweet from her promoter, Eddie Hearn. The post shows a message Eddie received from a young Katie Taylor, who asked the promoter for an opportunity. In the other picture, Katie is holding her 5 belts and posing with Hearn. She accompanied the picture with the caption, “And there’s more to be done.”

How it all started for Katie Taylor

In the first picture, you can see Katie’s first message to Hearn. It is a Twitter DM that read, “Hi Eddie, I hope you’re well. I hope you don’t mind me reaching out to you like this out of the blue. I’ve been seriously considering turning pro the last few months.

“I think I could do, for women’s pro boxing, what I did for the amateur sport: bring it into focus and generate a serious interest. I already have a global profile and a great fan base. Of course, the pro game is impossible without a great promoter.

“So I wonder if you would be interested in talking more about this?”

Eddie Hearn replied, and the rest is history. It is clear to see that Hearn picked well. Ever since Taylor signed with Matchroom Boxing, she has taken over women’s boxing. She is one of the few active boxers to hold all 4 belts in the same division.

Taylor has done what she said she would. She became a global star in the sport. And is therefore an inspiration for many young female boxers in the world. However, from her own caption, it is clear to see that Taylor is not stopping soon.

Thus, it will be exciting to see what new highs Taylor can reach. It just goes to show how much can happen over just reaching out and seeking the opportunity. Katie Taylor’s next challenge is to defend her titles against WBO mandatory, Miriam Gutierrez.
