🥊🇮🇪 “Being Irish is something I wear with pride.” - Katie Taylor
From Bray to Olympic gold and undisputed world titles, Katie Taylor has become one of Ireland’s defining sporting figures.
Now, the 39-year-old undisputed super-lightweight champion is set to bring her career full circle. Taylor will face unbeaten French fighter Flora Pili at Croke Park in Dublin on Saturday, September 5th - a homecoming bout expected to draw a sell-out crowd.
Holding the IBF, WBA, and WBO titles at 140lbs, Taylor has long spoken about wanting to finish her career fighting in Ireland.
Win or lose, her legacy is already secure - built on discipline, humility, resilience, and years spent carrying Ireland onto the world stage.
