Now, according to reports, there are plans to erect a statue of the 32-year-old sports star in her home town of Bray.
Bray Councillor Joe Behan said that he wants to erect a statue in Katie’s honour.
“I’d like Katie to be consulted before that because she is a very quiet and modest person. But I think it’s a great idea,” he said.
Katie made history last weekend when she won her fourth consecutive lightweight belt after another win in New York’s Madison Square Garden.
