Katie Taylor will call time on her illustrious boxing career on Saturday night when she takes on Flora Pili in Dublin determined to become a three-time undisputed world champion.
The 40-year-old Irishwoman will enter the ring for her 27th and final bout in front of 80,000 fans at Croke Park, but will it be a fairytale finish for The Bray Bomber?
With the big fight looming, Paddy Power is offering 50/1 (51.0) that Taylor will add the vacant WBC belt to her WBO, WBA and IBF super-lightweight titles this weekend.
New customers must use the promotion code when opening an account and stake £1 of their minimum deposit on Taylor to beat Pili at the normal odds to qualify for the equivalent of a £50 free bet.

To unlock the bonus, new customers need to:

- If Taylor ends her career with a victory, winnings will be paid at the standard odds which are 1/20 at the time of writing and equate to a £1.05 return.

Katie Taylor vs Flora Pili: Will Irish eyes be smiling?
Taylor will hang up her gloves on Saturday having won all but one of her previous 26 professional fights.
Her only defeat came against Northampton’s Chantelle Cameron in May 2023, but she turned the tables six months later with a sensational revenge victory by a majority decision.
A thrilling, yet controversial, second fight against Puerto Rican Amando Serrano in Texas went the way of Taylor in November 2024 when all three judges scored it 95-94 for the Irishwoman.
The boos that rang out at the AT&T Stadium meant a third fight was inevitable, and so it proved in July last year when the pair met in Madison Square Garden, although on this occasion Taylor prevailed by a majority decision to go 3-0 against Serrano.
Taylor’s odds of 1/20 with Paddy Power suggest she should not be troubled on Saturday evening, even though Pili has won all 12 of her pro fights, two by knockout. Pili is priced at 12/1 and a tie is 40/1 with the same bookmaker.

Is Paddy Power’s Katie Taylor vs Flora Pili offer worth claiming?
The short answer is yes.
Pili may be unbeaten, but she has yet to face any of the big names in her division and her last three fights took place in her hometown of Saint-Avold in the north-east of France which has around 33,000 residents.
The point is that the 29-year-old has barely fought outside of her native country, save for one expedition to Luxembourg, and will be like a rabbit caught in the headlights fighting at a sold-out Croke Park.
Even her coach was in “shock” to get the call from the promoters Matchroom about the chance to fight Taylor.
Finding alternatives to a Taylor win are sparse. Her last 13 fights have gone the distance, which Paddy Power has made available at 4/11, but that option does not qualify for the 50/1 enhanced odds.
Paddy Power’s standard odds on a Taylor victory may be lower than those of other major bookmakers, but they do not have a similar welcome offer.
We thoroughly checked the terms and conditions of this promotion and our only reservation was that there was no mention of minimum odds or legs when using the free bet within the 30-day expiry.
That said, only two legs are needed to qualify for a Paddy Power Bet Builder and that would be the expectation of the ordinary punter in this promotion.
In our opinion, it would be a major surprise if Pili is crowned world champion and Paddy Power’s promotion should be considered if you are a UK or Irish resident without an account.
