Why it matters
This article serves as a promotional piece for sports betting, highlighting the commercialization of high-profile sporting events.
Katie Taylor steps into the ring for the final time at Croke Park and it would come as a huge surprise if the Bray native is unable to end her wonderful career on a high.
A trailblazer for women's boxing, Taylor has won 25 of her 26 professional bouts, her only blemish coming against Chantelle Cameron in May 2023, a loss she avenged later that year in Dublin's 3Arena.
Taylor has since defeated American Amanda Serrano for the second and third times, once in Texas and once at Madison Square Garden, which was also the scene of their ground-breaking 2022 clash.
Her final opponent, France's Flora Pili, carries an unbeaten record into the fight but she has not faced anyone of Taylor's quality and is likely to be outmatched by the home favourite.
