Katie Taylor has announced her retirement from boxing after one final fight in Dublin this summer. The 39-year-old Irish boxing legend, who recently retained her undisputed super lightweight world title with a trilogy victory over Amanda Serrano, confirmed she's planning a farewell bout that could take place at the iconic Croke Park.

Taylor told RTE Sport that she's working to finalize the details of her retirement fight, expressing hope it can be held at Croke Park during July when the All-Ireland Championships are scheduled. While acknowledging other venues like the 3Arena and Aviva Stadium are possibilities, the former unified super-welterweight champion emphasized her desire to end her career in Dublin.

After a 20-year professional journey that has established her as Ireland's most successful female boxer, Taylor is preparing for what she calls "an amazing celebration" of her career. The potential Croke Park farewell would mark a fitting conclusion for the Olympic gold medalist who has been a trailblazer for women's boxing, though she remains realistic about the venue's availability.
