Katie Taylor, Ireland's Olympic gold medallist and two-weight undisputed champion, fights her final professional bout on Saturday against unbeaten Frenchwoman Flora Pili at Croke Park in Dublin, in front of 80,000 fans. It marks the culmination of one of Ireland's most celebrated sporting careers, with Taylor bidding to become a three-time undisputed champion in her light-welterweight farewell and finally fulfilling a long-held ambition to headline at the iconic Dublin stadium.

Taylor, 40, has won 25 of her 26 professional fights, including six by stoppage, while 29-year-old Pili is undefeated in 12 contests and a former European champion, though she has never faced an opponent of Taylor's stature. Figures from across the boxing world, canvassed by BBC Sport, were near-unanimous in predicting a Taylor victory, several suggesting she could secure a stoppage win, with one voice warning that boxing can always produce an upset. Coverage begins on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra at 19:00 BST before moving to 5 Live at 22:00, with the main event ringwalks expected between 22:00 and 22:30.
