Katie Taylor confirms final career fight to take place in Dublin

Katie Taylor has confirmed that her final professional fight will take place this summer in Dublin.

"We're still trying to figure the details out but I do have one more fight this year,” Taylor said to RTÉ Sport. “It's kind of like my retirement fight. It has been an amazing journey, the whole lot of it, over these last 20 years.”

The two-weight world champion, currently Champion in Recess, decided to take a break from boxing following her win against Amanda Serrano in 2025. The now 39-year old announced her plans to retire this year in January.

"I just want to fight in Dublin to end my career,” said Taylor. “Obviously we're still hoping for Croke Park, we're hanging on to a bit of hope that it can happen. If it doesn't happen there are plenty of options there. I have obviously fought in the 3Arena a couple of times, the Aviva Stadium is also there. Croke Park would be at the top of the list.”

Croke Park is set to host a number of other sporting events this summer, including the Gaelic Games.

"It has been an incredible, remarkable career and I always wanted to end it here in Ireland,” said Taylor. "Irish people have been so amazing to me throughout my whole career, they've gotten behind me during those Olympic Games and followed my career all the way through the professional ranks. It means so much to me. I'm just so grateful for that support and so grateful to be Irish."
