Katie Taylor prepares for final professional boxing match at Croke Park

Katie Taylor is scheduled to make her final professional ring walk this Saturday at Croke Park. She faces Flora Pili in a contest for the undisputed light-welterweight championship. Promoter Eddie Hearn highlighted Taylor's career trajectory, noting her transition from a decorated amateur to a fighter who now earns more than the vast majority of male counterparts. The partnership between the two has continued for years without a formal contract. Taylor’s career has included significant bouts against Amanda Serrano, including matches at Madison Square Garden and in Texas. Following this appearance, Taylor intends to conclude her professional career, having influenced the professional standing and earnings of female boxers throughout her time in the sport.
