Overview
- Taylor will retire after her fight on Saturday at Croke Park in Dublin, a sellout expected to draw about 80,000 people.
- Her WBA, WBO and IBF super‑lightweight titles will be on the line with the vacant WBC belt also at stake, a win would make her a three‑time undisputed champion.
- Challenger Flora Pili enters unbeaten at 12‑0 and brings the IBO belt into the ring as a heavy underdog who could change the narrative with an upset.
- The event will stream worldwide on DAZN and air free‑to‑air in Ireland on RTÉ, and promoter Eddie Hearn said past concerns about security costs and logistics delayed staging a Croke Park show.
- Taylor’s open workout this week, in which she invited a 10‑year‑old fan into the ring, underlined her legacy from Olympic gold to professional trailblazer and her role in growing girls’ participation and pay in boxing.
