Katie Taylor has confirmed she will conclude her boxing career following her 27th and final professional contest.

She is set to face French opponent Flora Pili, who holds an unbeaten record of 12 victories.

The match will take place at Croke Park in Dublin with both fighters scheduled to enter the ring at approximately 22:10 local time.

Taylor enters the bout defending her WBO, WBA and IBF light-welterweight world titles against a challenger who has never lost a professional fight.

The Irish superstar, aged 40, previously avenged her sole defeat by defeating Chantelle Cameron in their rematch.

Her professional record stands at 25 wins with only one loss recorded throughout her career.

Taylor reached the pinnacle of her sport after winning gold at the 2012 Olympic Games during her amateur career.

She turned professional in 2016 and has since competed in twenty successive world title fights, securing nineteen victories.

Her first world championship belt came in her seventh contest when she won a unanimous decision over Anahi Ester Sanchez in Cardiff.

That fight also marked the moment she claimed the vacant WBA lightweight title before moving up to light-welterweight status.

Pili is eleven years younger than Taylor and has secured all twelve of her professional bouts, including two by knockout.

The Belfast Herald understands that Taylor aims to become a three-time undisputed world champion following this encounter.

Her career trajectory has been defined by high-level competition across multiple weight classes since turning pro in 2016.

The upcoming event represents the culmination of nearly a decade spent competing at the highest level of professional boxing.

No further details regarding post-fight plans or specific contractual arrangements have been disclosed publicly yet.

Croke Park will serve as the venue for this historic unification bout scheduled for Saturday evening.
