There could hardly be a more fitting setting for Taylor’s final fight. She has wanted to headline at Croke Park for years – and it promises to be a celebration of one of Ireland’s greatest sporting figures.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest many in attendance will be experiencing a live boxing event for the first time, underlining the extent of Taylor’s influence beyond the sport.<\/p>\n
When Taylor was growing up, females were not permitted to box in Ireland. She went on to become a trailblazer for the sport, winning Olympic gold at London 2012 and inspiring a generation of female fighters.<\/p>\n
Her professional career has been equally remarkable. She has consistently broken new ground on the biggest stages. <\/p>\n
Her trilogy with Amanda Serrano 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, expanding the reach of women’s boxing even further.<\/p>\n
Taylor is already a two-weight undisputed world champion and aims to secure undisputed status for a third time in her farewell bout.<\/p>\n
