Katie Taylor's last career bout, set to take place at Croke Park in Dublin, could see an opponent provided by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions. Taylor, an Olympic gold medalist and two-weight undisputed champion, aims to have one final fight before retiring. Most Valuable Promotions, boasting the strongest roster in women's boxing, may have the ideal opponent for Taylor's farewell bout.
Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, has suggested Caroline Dubois as a potential opponent for Taylor's 'last dance.' Alternatively, the winner of the WBA lightweight title fight between Holly Holm and Stephanie Han could also be a suitable match. Bidarian envisions a scenario where the winner of Holm and Han's fight could face Taylor in her final bout, calling it 'very logical.' Holm, a 44-year-old UFC champion, and Han, a mother and full-time police officer, both have compelling stories that could make for an exciting matchup.
Bidarian hopes to collaborate with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing to stage the Croke Park event, emphasizing the importance of respecting Taylor's loyalty to her current representation. Hearn has ruled out Taylor fighting on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua, also rumored to take place at Croke Park, stating that Taylor will not be an undercard fighter at the venue.
