Katie Taylor has said she plans to retire this year after one more fight in Dublin.
Two-weight undisputed champion Taylor (25-1, 6 KOs), who hails from Bray in Ireland, has said she wants to fight at Dublin's Croke Park stadium, but details on an opponent and date have not been confirmed.
"I just want to fight in Dublin to end my career," Taylor told RTE on Wednesday. "Obviously we're still hoping for Croke Park, we're hanging on to a bit of hope that it can happen.
"If it doesn't happen there are plenty of options there. I have obviously fought in the 3Arena a couple of times, the Aviva Stadium is also there. Croke Park would the top of the list."
Taylor, who is promoted by Eddie Hearn and Matchroom, has pushed to fight at the iconic Croke Park before, but has not yet headlined the 80,000 seat stadium. The Aviva Stadium, home of Ireland's rugby team, seats 51,000, while Taylor has already fought at the 3Arena, an indoor venue.
However, Croke Park remains top of the wish list and Taylor believes it will be the perfect way to go out.
"I think it would be absolutely remarkable if I was able to do that. I'm not sure if it is going to happen or not," she said. "Either way, I'll be ending my career here and I'm very, very excited about that."
Taylor, 39, hasn't fought since beating Amanda Serrano for a third time last year at Madison Square Garden. In September, she announced she would be taking time away from the sport.
The 2012 Olympic gold medallist has lost just once in her professional career, to Chantelle Cameron in Dublin in May 2023. Taylor won the rematch later that year. Cameron has stated multiple times she wants a trilogy fight with one win apiece.
Taylor, who is widely considered one of the best and most influential female fighters of all time, became professional after a stellar amateur career which saw her win Olympic gold and five world championships.
Although her next fight isn't officially planned, she has made her intention clear to write one final chapter in her home country before hanging up the gloves.
