    Taylor’s farewell fight could hardly have a more fitting setting. After years of wanting to headline at Croke Park, she is set to bring her career to a close in front of what promises to be a celebratory home crowd.

    Reports suggest that many people attending will be watching a live boxing event for the first time, highlighting Taylor’s influence well beyond the sport itself.

    A trailblazer for women’s boxing

    When Taylor was growing up, women were not permitted to box in Ireland. She went on to become a trailblazer, winning Olympic gold at London 2012 and inspiring a generation of female fighters.

    Her professional career has been equally remarkable. Taylor has repeatedly broken new ground on boxing’s biggest stages, including her trilogy with Amanda Serrano. The series produced three landmark encounters, beginning with their first meeting at a sold-out Madison Square Garden in 2022. Their subsequent rematches were broadcast globally on Netflix, extending the reach of women’s boxing even further.

    Taylor is already a two-weight undisputed world champion and will aim to become undisputed for a third time in her farewell bout.

    Mandatory challenger Pili has earned her opportunity and cannot be overlooked. However, Taylor remains the consummate professional and will be determined to end her career on a high.
