Irish Royalty - Katie Taylor sells out Croke Park in minutes
Irish superstar Katie Taylor sells out Croke Park within 30 minutes
The hottest ticket in boxing has proven to be Katie Taylor’s farewell fight against IBO titlist Flora Pili at Croke Park in Ireland on September 5.
The final fight against France’s Flora Pili will tick off the most significant item on Taylor’s bucket list before the 39-year-old closes the curtain on a history-making combat career.
It is believed thousands of fans were left disappointed, unable to beat the rush at the Box Office, with the seats selling out within just 30 minutes earlier today.
The Bray boxer had always wanted to top the bill at Croke Park and manager Brian Peters and promoter Eddie Hearn strived to deliver it to cap off an outstanding career.
Taylor is 25-1 (6 KOs) and opponent Pili is 12-0 (2 KOs).
Tickets went on presale to Matchroom Fight Pass members last Wednesday as well as Lidl Plus users, with the supermarket chain serving as the headline sponsor of the event.
And when they went on general sale today, they were snapped up within 30 minutes time, proving Taylor's superstar status, who also became the first femae, alongside dance partner Amanda Serrano, to headline at Madison Square Gardens.
Taylor has previously been described as the closest thing to Irish royalty and she has proved jus that with her latest sellout show.
