Irish boxing champion Katie Taylor is preparing for what will be her final professional fight, squaring off against undefeated French competitor Flora Pili on Saturday, September 5th at Dublin’s Croke Park Stadium. The bout will determine control of multiple championship belts in the women’s super lightweight division, with Taylor defending her existing WBO, IBF, and WBA titles while both fighters compete for the vacant WBC crown. A victory would grant the winner all four prestigious belts.
At 40 years old, Taylor has announced her retirement from professional boxing regardless of the fight’s outcome. Should she emerge victorious and claim the undisputed championship for a third time, her storied career would conclude on a triumphant note. Conversely, a loss to the younger Pili would symbolically represent a changing of the guard in women’s boxing. Either way, Taylor’s legacy as one of the sport’s greatest female athletes remains secure.
The main event will commence at 1 p.m. ET with the championship bout expected to begin around 5:10 p.m. ET. DAZN subscribers can stream the entire card at no additional cost, while non-subscribers can purchase access starting at $24.99 monthly. The platform’s premium tier offers $49.99 monthly access to this event plus 12 additional pay-per-view boxing matches throughout the year.
