Katie Taylor Turns Off Mayo Clip Ahead of Croke Park Boxing Headline

Undisputed boxing champion Katie Taylor is preparing for her career‑farewell fight at Croke Park on 5 September, which will make her the first boxer to headline the iconic GAA venue in more than half a century. In the weeks leading up to the bout, Taylor watched video of Mayo’s All‑Ireland senior football triumph – a win that ended a 75‑year, 11‑final losing streak dating back to 1951. She said the footage was so emotionally intense that she had to turn it off, noting it made her nervous as she imagined walking into the same stadium. Taylor praised the electric atmosphere and the unifying power of sport, adding that the celebration highlighted the significance of the occasion she is about to create. She also spoke about her final training camp with longtime coach Ross Enamait, describing it as a chance to enjoy the last weeks together before the historic night.
