Jake Paul's Promotion Could Provide Katie Taylor's Final Opponent
Katie Taylor, an Olympic gold medalist and undisputed two-weight champion, is set to retire after one final fight, and Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) may provide her opponent at Croke Park in Dublin. MVP has previously staged Taylor's last two fights against Amanda Serrano. With the strongest roster in women's boxing, MVP is well-positioned to offer Taylor a suitable opponent for her farewell bout. Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, has suggested Caroline Dubois or the winner of the upcoming Holly Holm vs Stephanie Han fight as potential opponents for Taylor. Bidarian envisions a collaborative effort with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing to stage the Croke Park event, emphasizing the importance of respecting Taylor's loyalty to Matchroom. Hearn has ruled out Taylor fighting on the undercard of a potential Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua bout at Croke Park, instead expressing his desire to move forward with planning Taylor's final fight.
