Katie Taylor is set to make her final ring walk in what promises to be a highly emotional night at Croke Park.

The 40 year old boxing icon takes on Flora Pili as she bids to become an undisputed world champion for a third time. Taylor puts her WBA, WBO and IBF super-lightweight world titles on the line, while the vacant WBC belt and Pili's IBO title are also up for grabs.

Taylor delivered an outstanding performance in her previous encounter with Amanda Serrano last July and enters the bout with a record of 25-1, her only defeat coming against Chantelle Cameron in May 2023 before securing revenge six months later.

As for Pili, she remains unbeaten, having secured victory in all 12 of her professional contests to date, with two coming by way of knockout. This marks only the third occasion she has competed outside her home nation of France.

A host of Irish fighters feature across the nine-bout card, alongside musical performances from Westlife and The Mary Wallopers. Here's everything you need to know about the event:

The opening bout on the card is scheduled to begin at 4.10pm, featuring an all-Irish middleweight clash between Dublin's Paul Ryan and Belfast's Paddy Gallagher. The main card gets underway at 7pm.

The ring walks for the headline bout are scheduled to take place after 9.45pm. This timing will be dependent on how the undercard progresses.
