Katie Taylor and Flora Pili will weigh in at the iconic Trinity College Dublin before they fight for the world junior welterweight championship in front of 80,000 at Croke Park on Saturday, September 5th – live worldwide on DAZN and non-exclusively in Ireland on RTÉ. Founded in 1592, Trinity College Dublin is Ireland’s oldest university, and home to its greatest cultural treasure, the Book of Kells – a precious 9th century manuscript. Earlier this summer, in June, Ireland’s greatest ever athlete Katie Taylor received an honorary degree from Trinity as she was awarded the university’s highest honor by Chancellor Dr. Mary McAleese at a special ceremony in Trinity’s historic Exam Hall. And now, as she prepares for her final fight in professional boxing, Taylor looks forward to returning to Trinity next Friday, September 4th, to face off with undefeated French opponent Pili for the last time before their monumental showdown.

 

A ticket portal is for fans to attend the Ceremonial Weigh-In, which starts at 6pm. Further details can be found here.
