Promoter Nakisa Bidarian of Most Valuable Promotions says Caroline Dubois is the ideal final opponent for Katie Taylor. The Irish legend has yet to name her farewell challenger, but a summer showdown at Croke Park in Dublin is widely expected. Bidarian told Sky Sports News the matchup would excite both UK and Irish fans and serve as a fitting swansong.

Dubois reinforced her claim with a unanimous points victory over Terri Harper last month, adding the WBO lightweight belt to her existing WBC title. The unbeaten 25‑year‑old now eyes a possible August return, with her camp mentioning a long‑term clash against American rival Alycia Baumgardner. Bidarian stressed multiple routes for unification and career growth, and solidify her status among the sport's elite.

Bidarian believes the bout would be a global event, a symbolic passing of the torch for Taylor and a launchpad for Dubois. He highlighted their partnership with Sky Sports as crucial for exposing the fight to a wider audience. With both fighters in peak form, the proposed Croke Park showdown could become one of this year’s marquee boxing moments.
