Katie Taylor is scheduled to box Flora Pili on Saturday, September 5 at Croke Park Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, in a women’s super lightweight championship fight with unusually large consequences attached to every round. Taylor enters as the WBA, WBO and IBF champion. The WBC belt is vacant, meaning the winner is positioned to leave with the complete four-belt undisputed championship.
The main event is slated for 10 rounds. Taylor’s listed record is 25-1-0, while Pili arrives unbeaten at 12-0-0. The event begins at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT, with main-event ringwalks expected at approximately 5:10 p.m. ET / 2:10 p.m. PT. The difference between those times matters: viewers tuning in for the opening bell of the card should start earlier, while those focused only on Taylor and Pili should treat the ringwalk estimate as flexible rather than guaranteed.
An undisputed fight with retirement stakes
This bout carries more than the ordinary tension of championship boxing. At 40, Taylor is set to retire following the fight regardless of the result. That makes the Croke Park date a potentially defining final chapter for the Irish boxer, with a chance to add the vacant WBC title to the three belts she already holds.
If Taylor wins, she would become undisputed at women’s super lightweight for a third time. That possibility gives the contest the shape of a legacy event: a champion competing at home, pursuing a full title set, with retirement planned immediately afterward. A Pili win, on the other hand, would make the unbeaten French fighter the four-belt champion and dramatically change the division’s immediate picture.
Boxing loves a clean final boss setup, but real fight nights do not obey a scripted campaign mode. Titles, records and retirement plans make the stakes clear; they do not decide the outcome. Pili’s 12-0-0 record establishes that she has not lost as a professional, while Taylor’s 25-1-0 mark reflects a far longer résumé. The meaningful detail for viewers is that both fighters have a direct route to the same reward: the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO championships.

What is on the line
Championship labels can become visual clutter once four organizations are involved, so the simple version is worth spelling out. Taylor currently holds the WBA, WBO and IBF women’s super lightweight belts. The WBC belt is vacant. Taylor-Pili is therefore a unification fight for all four major titles, and the winner would be undisputed in the division.
For Taylor, victory would mean retaining the three championships she brings into the ring and claiming the vacant fourth belt. For Pili, victory would mean taking Taylor’s WBA, WBO and IBF titles while also collecting the WBC belt. There is no partial prize for the main-event winner here: the full championship picture is at stake.
It is also an especially notable setting. Croke Park is in Dublin, putting Taylor in Ireland for a fight that is expected to be her last. The atmosphere around a hometown title bout can feel a little like a local multiplayer final where every spectator has picked the same character, but the official result still depends on the action in the ring, not the crowd’s volume. If live-event etiquette needs a refresher before friends claim every good seat, our guide to the unwritten rules of couch multiplayer has useful principles that travel surprisingly well from a controller pass to a shared fight-night screen.
The full announced card
Taylor and Pili headline a card that includes bouts across heavyweight, welterweight, super middleweight, junior featherweight, middleweight and women’s junior featherweight. Dave Allen meets Thomas Carty in the heavyweight contest, while Paddy Donovan faces Tyrone McKenna at welterweight.

Because the Taylor-Pili ringwalk is only expected around the stated time, the undercard has practical importance for anyone watching live. Earlier fights can alter the pace of an event, and broadcast schedules are not the same thing as a countdown clock. Starting with the card allows viewers to follow the entire Dublin show; joining closer to the projected ringwalk is the more focused option for those there specifically for the title bout.
Why the records and setting matter
Taylor’s 25-1-0 record and Pili’s 12-0-0 record give the matchup an immediately readable contrast. Taylor is the established champion entering what is scheduled as her retirement fight. Pili is the undefeated challenger attempting to claim every major belt in one contest. Neither statistic predicts a winner, but each explains why the result will resonate beyond a routine defense.
The Dublin venue sharpens that contrast further. Taylor is the Irish boxer on a Croke Park bill, pursuing an undisputed finish in a bout framed as the end of her career. Pili has the opportunity to derail that farewell narrative and take ownership of the division. It is an easy matchup to understand even for casual viewers: one fighter seeks to close a career with all four belts; the other seeks to leave with them.
DAZN’s wider sports catalogue includes boxing alongside FIFA, BKFC, National League, UEFA Women’s Championship League, ERC and WRC racing, Riyadh Season boxing, NFL Game Pass International and other programming. For this particular day, though, the important checklist is much shorter: confirm the subscription arrangement, account for the 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT card start, and remember that Taylor vs. Pili ringwalks are projected for around 5:10 p.m. ET / 2:10 p.m. PT rather than fixed at that exact minute.
Whether the night ends with Taylor’s third undisputed reign or Pili’s unbeaten record becoming a four-title breakthrough, the title math is straightforward. One 10-round main event at Croke Park will determine the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO women’s super lightweight champion.
