Katie Taylor will be hope to produce a grandstand finish to what has been a truly remarkable boxing career when she steps through the ropes one final time on Saturday night.
The trail-blazing Irish sensation will attempt to further cement her already deeply engraved legacy in the sport by securing undisputed honours for a third time against unbeaten French star Flora Pili.
Taylor, who famously won gold at the London Olympics back in 2012, has established herself as one of the most revered fighters on the planet over the past decade and now has the chance to sign off in style by fully unifying the super-lightweight division for a second time.
Katie Taylor vs Flora Pili Betting Odds

Unsurprisingly, it's the home favourite who heads into her 28th professional bout as the overwhelming favourite.
Currently ranked the number one female fighter on the planet in the Ring's prestigious pound-for-pound list, Taylor has amassed a nigh on perfect 26-1 record, one she will be keen to further improve at Croke Park.
The Bray Bomber's sole blemish on her CV came via a decision defeat at the hands of Chantelle Cameron in May 2023, a loss she went on to rectify in statement-like manner a few months later.
A trio of victories over Amanda Serrano in their barnstorming trilogy undoubtedly sits high upon her greatest achievements, whilst reigning supreme at the iconic Gaelic venue, Croke Park, would undoubtedly rival those.
At 1/20, Taylor looks an almost shoo-in for victory, but it's the manner of the likely victory which seems to carry the most intrigue.
She has dished up six stoppage wins within the pro ranks, but hasn't managed to beat an opponent inside the scheduled distance for eight years now -- when she needed five rounds to bring a halt to her one-sided contest with Viviane Obenauf.
We're 11/5 that she can sign-off her career with a stoppage win this weekend, although a decision victory appears a more favourable 2/5 shot given Pili has never hit the canvas, let alone be stopped.
