Róisín O and Aoife Scott to perform Amhrán na bhFiann at Katie Taylor's Croke Park Fight

Róisín O and Aoife Scott are set to perform Amhrán na bhFiann at Katie Taylor's farewell fight in Croke Park on Saturday, September 5.

The pair will be performing the national anthem to a sold-out Croke Park, before the London 2012 Olympic gold medallist takes on France's Flora Pili in a bid to become a three-time undisputed champion.

Westlife were announced yesterday as the headline performers for the match, which will be broadcast on RTÉ2, RTÉ Player and RTÉ 2FM on Saturday. Jacqui Hurley is covering the fight from 8 pm.

The last time a professional boxing event took place in Croke Park was in July 1972 when Muhammad Ali took on Detroit boxer Al Lewis.
