Katie Taylor to face Flora Pili in farewell fight as WBC confirms fight ahead of Friday announcement

Undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor looks set to end her stellar career against unbeaten French fighter Flora Pili.

Taylor, 39, holds the IBF, WBA and WBO titles at 140lbs and will announce her farewell fight on Friday, with Dublin's Croke Park expected to be the venue.

Ahead of the announcement, the WBC appears to have confirmed 28-year-old Pili as her opponent. Pili (12-0) is the mandatory challenger for Taylor's IBF super lightweight title and the top-ranked contender for the now vacant WBC belt.

Champion Sandy Ryan is pregnant and has been made 'Champion in Recess' by the WBC, who has ordered Taylor to fight Pili.

Taylor was previously WBC champion but vacated the belt in 2025 to take a break from boxing.

It means Taylor has the chance to unify all the belts in her final fight and become an undisputed champion for the third time in her career.

The date and location of the fight are yet to be confirmed, but it is expected that Irish native Taylor will finally get her wish to fight at Croke Park.
