Of all the people I’ve met and had the privilege of filming with around the world, Irish boxer Katie Taylor ranks high on the list of the most amazing.

In 2015, Footstep made the third episode in a series we created for WDR called “My Hero”, where a child got to do a mini apprenticeship with someone who inspired them. Lily Devlin from Attleborough Boxing Club was just 15 and her hero was the Irish boxer.

We were able to take Lily to Bray, Katie’s hometown, to meet and train with the champion and her father Pete. Katie and her family’s encouragement, kindness and generosity towards Lily and the rest of the team was phenomenal. I remember even small gestures, like Katie sharing her water bottle with Lily during their sparring practice, were amazing. Although we were only shooting for 3 days, the experience had a profound impact on Lily and the whole production team.

In 2016, Katie turned professional and I was delighted to attend her first fight at Wembley. Then, late last year I attended Lily’s first professional fight at Bethnal Green. It really does feel full circle, as Katie still found time amongst her busy schedule and celebrity status to send a message to Lily that she has always kept an eye on her boxing career.

Katie Taylor’s legacy as a sportswoman is major, she was a prime mover in getting women’s boxing accepted as an Olympic sport for the first time in 2012, and I’m sure her commitment to, and encouragement of, young boxers will continue for years. But for me, it is the kindness and gentleness of a woman who also packs one hell of a punch that will always remain with me.

I’m writing this piece in recognition of Katie having stepped into the ring one last time on Saturday 5th September at the iconic Croke Park, filling it out with 83,000 spectators, admirers and, no doubt, the next generation of boxers.

Always an inspiration, always our hero. Go Katie 🥊💪🏼✨

Another Footstep Family catch up! has worked with us since he was 12 and as a student was the camera assistant on Flirt English 2. Lara Lemon was in the cast of Flirt English 2 filmed in Brighton in 2011. They caught up when Oliver (now a sought after DOP) was asked by ZDF to film a report about "Witness for the Prosecution" - starring Lara! If you find yourself in London it's a great play - do go see it!
