Katie Taylor's last career fight, set to take place at Croke Park in Dublin, may feature an opponent provided by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions. Having staged Taylor's last two contests against Amanda Serrano, MVP is well-positioned to offer a suitable opponent for Taylor's swansong.
Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, has suggested Caroline Dubois or the winner of Holly Holm's WBA lightweight title fight against Stephanie Han as potential opponents. Bidarian envisions a scenario where the winner of Holm and Han could face Taylor in her final bout, describing it as 'very logical.' With Holm being a renowned UFC champion and Han having a compelling story as a mother and full-time police officer, either opponent would bring an exciting storyline to the fight. MVP aims to collaborate with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing to stage the event, with Bidarian expressing his desire to work together to make the Croke Park fight a reality.
Hearn has ruled out Taylor boxing on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua, also proposed for Croke Park, and is instead focused on moving forward with Taylor's final fight.
