If Katie Taylor gave us a script the country so desperately wanted on Saturday night then the abiding memories of an historic occasion in Croke Park won’t, can’t, be restricted to the ring that served as the stage for her last act as a boxer.
A peak audience of 1.6 million tuned in to watch Katie Taylor end her incredible boxing career on the biggest of highs last Saturday night.
The ring that had just staged her last bout was already dismantled and packed away into a handful parked vans by the time Katie Taylor made it to her post-fight presser in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A retirement party like no other. And instead of a lawnmower or a clock, Katie Taylor was given a whole lotta love from a crowd of 80,000 in Croke Park on a balmy-ish night in September. As Natasha Jonas, a former opponent of Taylor, said of the occasion, “it’s unreal”.
Saturday night at Croke Park was all about Katie Taylor, but it was also an opportunity for some rising Irish stars (and Westlife) to perform in front of a massive audience.
In she came to the press conference room, all stealth and quiet through the darkened backdrop, stopping occasionally to take the thanks of this security guard or that member of the Croke Park staff. It was well past midnight now and Katie Taylor’s last ever fight had ended around over two hours before. But nobody was in any hurry, not her and not us. We’ll be long enough without her.
DUBLIN, Sept 5 : Ireland's Katie Taylor ended her career in style on Saturday, the most decorated female boxer beating France's Flora Pili by unanimous decision to hang up her gloves as an undisputed world super-lightweight champion before an 83,000 Croke Park crowd.
Katie Taylor had done it all before her big Saturday night in Croke Park.
