Katie Taylor to fight final professional bout at Croke Park

Irish boxing legend Katie Taylor is set to fight her final professional bout this Saturday, September 5, at Croke Park in Dublin. Taylor will defend her WBA, WBO, and IBF super lightweight titles against undefeated French challenger Flora Pili, with the vacant WBC title also on the line.

The event is expected to be a massive commercial success, with over 80,000 tickets sold out. Ticket sales are projected to generate approximately €7 million in revenue. The fight will be broadcast globally on DAZN and in Ireland via RTÉ.

Promoter Eddie Hearn highlighted Taylor’s transformative impact on the sport, noting her role in bringing women’s boxing to the Olympics and the mainstream. Taylor, who has an estimated career fortune of $20 million, expressed that the fight at her dream venue would be a moment of joy rather than sadness as she concludes her storied career.
