The prices of the tickets to watch the duel against the French Flora Pili were established in a range that started at 39 euros until exceeding 1,500 euros in the ringside area.
After confirmation of the sold-out ticket, Katie Taylor used her official digital broadcast accounts to express her gratitude for the public response in her native country. The 39-year-old boxer expressed the responsibility she assumes for her final physical preparation in the gym.
"Wow! I'm honestly overwhelmed by your support, Ireland. What can I say but thank you, thank you, thank you? I'll do my best to deliver one last great performance for you on September 5. Let's light up Croke Park together!" Katie Taylor shared on her official Instagram account as she took in the box office result.
Absolute unification at stake
The local athlete's farewell fight will not be an exhibition fight, but rather an official fight where multiple world belts will be contested. The boxer will display her super lightweight crowns from the WBA, the WBO, the IBF and The Ring magazine against the French challenger Flora Pili, who arrives with an undefeated record at the match.
The confrontation will also have the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) belt in dispute. If she leaves with her hand raised, Katie Taylor will say goodbye to professional activity having regained her status as undisputed champion at 140 pounds, a milestone she already achieved in the past in the lightweight division.
A historic landmark in Dublin Cathedral
The venue selected for the function has a capacity of 82 thousand spectators and represents one of the most traditional sports centers on the island. The last time this venue hosted an evening of professional boxing was in July 1972, when the American Muhammad Ali defeated Al Lewis in the same ring.
Katie Taylor's career will culminate in this way before more than 80 thousand fans in an event that marks her professional debut on Irish territory. The former gold medalist of the 2012 London Olympic Games and five-time amateur world champion will close her sporting cycle after having redefined the commercial and technical profile of the women's discipline globally.
