Katie Taylor to fight Ronda Rousey? Could Irish star delay retirement for crossover bout against former UFC champion

Katie Taylor will only be lured back to boxing by "something very special" and there is a "good chance" she might enter retirement, says promoter Eddie Hearn.

Taylor, 39, has hinted at retiring from the sport in 2026 but has also suggested she could be tempted into a sensational crossover bout against former UFC champion Ronda Rousey.

Taylor was last in action in July, when she beat Amanda Serrano for a third time in Madison Square Garden, while Rousey has not fought since 2016 when she was beaten by Amanda Nunes at UFC 207. The American then moved into WWE before her departure in 2023.

The loss to Nunes came immediately after a shock defeat to Holly Holm, who ended her undefeated run of 12 fights, in 2015.
