"I've had 20 years at the top of the game basically. It's been an amazing career, an amazing journey, every single part of it. I'm so grateful. But I always said I would love to end my career here in Ireland, here in Dublin. The support and backing of people in this country has been absolutely second to none."
"They came on this journey with me every step of the way, the highs and lows of it, and I'm so grateful for that. And I'd love to give them a final night here in Dublin. I think it's going to be in July/August, sometime. We're still trying to work out all the details; who it's going to be against, the date, the venue, everything has to be worked out and planned."
"Obviously, still pushing for that Croke Park fight. I'm not sure if it's going to happen or not, but that would be a dream for me. We're having conversations over the last few weeks, and we've had conversations before with them, but we're going to see what happens. But if not, there's obviously other options out there as well."
Katie Taylor, a two-weight undisputed world champion, has announced her intention to retire in 2026 after a 20-year career at the top of professional boxing. The 40-year-old Irish boxer has not competed since July 2025, when she defeated Amanda Serrano in their trilogy match at Madison Square Garden. Taylor expresses deep gratitude for the support from Irish fans throughout her career and desires to conclude her distinguished boxing journey with a homecoming bout in Dublin. She is actively pursuing a fight at Croke Park in July or August 2026, though alternative venues remain under consideration. Details regarding her opponent, exact date, and final venue are still being finalized.
