Katie Taylor eyes Croke Park as career finale venue

Katie Taylor has said she wants to end her boxing career by becoming undisputed champion again at Croke Park. The Irish fighter told BBC Sport the Dublin stadium would be the perfect setting for her final fight.

“This seems like the perfect way to end it [my career] – by becoming undisputed champion again in our national stadium which has such a special place in Irish hearts”

What Katie Taylor said

Taylor currently campaigns at lightweight. Croke Park is Ireland's national stadium and has never hosted a professional boxing world title fight. The venue holds over 80,000 spectators and is considered the spiritual home of Irish sport.

What it moves

Taylor's comment suggests she is planning her retirement around a specific venue and outcome rather than an opponent. If a Croke Park date is arranged, she would need to hold or regain undisputed status beforehand. No fight has been announced for the stadium.
