Katie Taylor prepares for final career fight at Croke Park in Dublin

Katie Taylor concludes her boxing career this weekend at Croke Park in Dublin. The event, scheduled for Saturday night, features an 80,000-seat sellout and represents the final fight for the Olympic gold medalist and two-weight undisputed champion. Taylor faces unbeaten challenger Flora Pili in a contest for three super-lightweight titles. This appearance marks her 21st consecutive world-title fight, a sequence that began in 2017. While the titles are at stake, the event serves primarily as a farewell for the 40-year-old fighter, who began her career by disguising herself to compete in amateur bouts. The fight is the first of its kind held at the venue, drawing significant national attention to the career finale of the Irish athlete.
