Katie Taylor’s Final Fight: The End of an Era in Women’s Boxing

One of the greatest female boxers of all time is preparing for her final bow. Katie Taylor — undisputed super-lightweight champion, Olympic gold medallist, and the woman who almost single-handedly put women’s boxing on the mainstream map — has confirmed she will retire after one final fight in Dublin this summer.

Her scheduled opponent is Flora Pili, with the undisputed super-lightweight titles on the line at Croke Park, Dublin on September 5, 2026.

A Career Like No Other

Taylor’s record speaks for itself: undefeated as a professional, multiple world titles across two weight classes, and fights that consistently broke pay-per-view records for women’s boxing. Her rematch with Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden was one of the most watched women’s sporting events in history.

At Fight Factory Manchester, we use Taylor’s career as a constant reference point when coaching our female fighters. Her footwork, her jab, her relentless pressure — these are the fundamentals we drill every single session.

What She Leaves Behind

Whatever happens in Dublin, Katie Taylor’s legacy is secure. She proved that women’s boxing deserves the main event. She inspired a generation of young girls to put on gloves and step into the ring. And she did it all with class, discipline, and an unbreakable will to win.

That’s the Fight Factory way too.
