Katie Taylor to fight final professional match in Dublin

Irish boxing legend Katie Taylor is set to fight her final professional match on September 5, 2026, at Croke Park in Dublin. Taylor will face undefeated French fighter Flora Pili in a highly anticipated event expected to draw over 80,000 spectators. Taylor will defend her WBO, WBA, IBF, and Ring Magazine super-lightweight titles, with the vacant WBC title also on the line.

As Taylor prepares for her retirement, industry figures are looking toward the next generation of women's boxing. British boxer Caroline Dubois is being highlighted as a potential successor to the era defined by Taylor and Amanda Serrano. Dubois is scheduled to fight Amelia Moore on August 29 in Birmingham as part of a major card featuring Chantelle Cameron and Mikaela Mayer.
