Taylor, who ignited a revolution for women in the sport during the 2020s, reminisced about her career saying it felt like “kind of like my retirement fight”. Known for headlining historic events such as the first women's boxing match at Madison Square Garden, she stands as a trailblazer in her own right.
Her career highlights also include facing Amanda Serrano in New York and battling Chantelle Cameron at Dublin's 3Arena. The Dublin venue bore witness to her first-ever loss and subsequent redemption in a thrilling rematch last year.
The final fight promises to be an event to remember with potential venues including Croke Park, Aviva Stadium, or a return to 3Arena. Eddie Hearn is on board as Taylor’s promoter and is considering a lesser-known opponent for this farewell bout.
Throughout her illustrious career, Katie Taylor fought top-tier opponents and left an indelible mark on women's boxing. Her imminent departure highlights a legacy that goes beyond titles and belts; she transformed perspectives and offered inspiration for generations of female athletes.
