KATIE Taylor’s dad Pete will return to his daughter’s corner for the trilogy showdown with Amanda Serrano.
The 2012 Olympic champ will be joined by her father Pete in her corner for next week’s much-anticipated trilogy clash with Amanda Serrano at MSG.
The pair famously parted ways before the 2016 Olympics after spending decades together through Katie’s decorated amateur career.
For years since, Ross Enamait has been Taylor’s head coach.
But ahead of what could be the final fight of her career, Pete has reunited with Katie as she looks to mix it up ahead of the July 11 showdown in the Big Apple.
They first reconnected earlier this year, with Katie sharing a video of them training together in March.
That session was their first public session together in years.
And in the build-up to the bout is the focus of a new Netflix documentary, which offers behind-the-scenes footage of Pete’s role in Katie’s fight camp.
Katie admitted it was a bug moment for the father-daughter duo.
Speaking on Netflix, she said: “To be back training with him is huge for me. You can’t mention my story without mentioning my dad.
“We know each other very well at this stage. I know what I need to work on, I know what I need to do. My motivation is still the same… as it always is. Even more so.”
Pete Taylor also spoke of his joy as he added: “This is a happy place for the two of us. We’re just so comfortable here together. Katie’s my child and I know her inside out.
“Even though Ross has been with her for the last 10 years, I still know Katie better than anybody else.
“When you have two people that’s interested in one person, the conversation is always going to be constructive. Two heads is better than one.
“No matter what, she’ll always find a way of winning. No disrespect to Amanda Serrano, I don’t think she has the tools to beat Katie.
“Katie’s got the abilities to adapt all the time and obviously, Amanda’s going to adapt as well.
“You’ve seen the best of Amanda Serrano in both the fights in all fairness, but I still don’t think you’ve seen the best of Katie Taylor.
“I think in this fight you’re going to see the best of Katie Taylor and it is going to shock Amanda Serrano.”
Taylor leads the rivalry 2-0 after controversial decision wins in 2022 and 2024.
But Serrano and many others has disputed both results – setting the stage for what could be a fiery decider in what’s been a legendary rivalry.
The fight will be broadcast live on Netflix from New York City on Thursday, July 11.
