Katie Taylor has revealed that she is set to retire with one more fight left on the cards.
The legendary world champion boxer from Bray has confirmed that the fight will take place in Dublin this summer.
In January, the 39-year-old said that 2026 would be her final year in the ring, but the undisputed world super lightweight champion has now elaborated on her planned finale in the ring.
Taylor has reiterated her desire to fight at Croke Park but has admitted she's unsure if that will happen.
“I just want to fight in Dublin to end my career.
“Obviously, we’re still hoping for Croke Park, we’re hanging on to a bit of hope that it can happen. If it doesn’t happen there are plenty of options there.
“I have obviously fought in the 3Arena a couple of times; the Aviva Stadium is also there. Croke Park would the top of the list.”
The 3 Arena and the Aviva Stadium are the alternatives for the former Olympic champion, with a fight set to take place in June or July.
Taylor's last fight was defeating Amanda Serrano last July in their trilogy fight at Madison Square Garden.
