About Katie Taylor

Katie Taylor is widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport and is credited with transforming women’s professional boxing into a global attraction. Born in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland, Taylor began boxing at a young age under the guidance of her father, Pete Taylor. Long before turning professional, she had already established herself as one of the world’s elite amateur athletes, winning multiple European and World Championship titles before achieving her lifelong dream by claiming Olympic gold at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Her victory became one of Ireland’s defining sporting moments and inspired a new generation of female athletes both at home and around the world.

Taylor made the decision to join the professional ranks in 2016, signing with Matchroom Boxing. From the outset, she quickly established herself as one of boxing’s biggest attractions through her exceptional speed, technical ability, relentless work rate and tactical intelligence. She captured the WBA lightweight title in just her seventh professional contest before unifying the division by collecting the WBC, IBF, WBO and Ring Magazine championships. Becoming the undisputed lightweight champion cemented her place among boxing’s modern greats and demonstrated that women’s boxing could headline major arenas and attract worldwide audiences.

Throughout her professional career, Katie Taylor has consistently taken on the toughest opponents available.

Her first contest against Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden in New York made history as the first women’s boxing match to headline the famous venue and was widely praised as one of the greatest fights ever contested. These landmark events helped elevate women’s boxing to unprecedented levels of popularity and commercial success.

The event at Croke Park represents another historic milestone. Announced as Taylor’s farewell professional contest, the undisputed world lightweight championship bout against undefeated French challenger Flora Pili gives Irish supporters the opportunity to celebrate one of the country’s greatest sporting icons on home soil. Competing for the first time as a professional at Ireland’s largest stadium is a fitting stage for a boxer whose career has continually broken barriers and inspired millions across the globe.
