The Katie Generation: Inside Ireland's boxing gyms, Katie Taylor's greatest legacy is everywhere

As Katie Taylor prepares for her farewell fight on Saturday, September 6, 2026, photojournalist Jackson Morrow has travelled across Ireland and Northern Ireland — visiting gyms in Dublin, Sligo, Carndonagh, and Belfast — to document the next generation of young women boxers inspired by Taylor. The feature highlights how Taylor, widely regarded as the greatest women's boxer in history, has transformed participation in the sport across the island of Ireland. Young girls like eight-year-old Tori at Gateway Boxing Sligo represent what has been dubbed 'The Katie Generation,' a cohort who grew up in the world Taylor helped create.
