Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions is poised to provide the opponent for Katie Taylor's farewell fight at Dublin's Croke Park. Having staged the last two bouts of Taylor's iconic trilogy against Amanda Serrano, MVP is well-positioned to offer a suitable adversary for Taylor's swansong, given its impressive roster in women's boxing.
Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, has suggested Caroline Dubois as a potential 'last dance' partner for Taylor, while the winner of the upcoming WBA lightweight title bout between Holly Holm and Stephanie Han could also be a contender. Bidarian envisions a scenario where the victor of Holm and Han's fight could face Taylor in her final bout, describing it as 'very logical.' With Holm being a renowned UFC champion and Stephanie Han having a compelling story as a mother and full-time police officer, either opponent would bring an exciting dimension to Taylor's last fight. Bidarian is keen to collaborate with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing to stage the Croke Park event, emphasizing the importance of respecting Taylor's loyalty to her long-time promoter.
Hearn has ruled out the possibility of Taylor fighting on the undercard of a potential Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua bout at Croke Park, stressing that Taylor deserves a headline spot in her home country.
