Katie Taylor will retire after her final fight in Dublin Katie Taylor, the Irish boxing icon has announced that she will be retiring later this year following one final fight in Dublin. The 39-year-old plans to end her career in Ireland and is hoping to fight at Croke park. Taylor Taylor hasn't fought in a fight since July last year when she beat Amanda Serrano during their three-round bout in New York. She wants to make her last appearance in front of Irish supporters. In a recent conversation, she stated: "I want to fight to finish my career in Dublin." Croke Park is still her top choice. She mentioned that if it doesn't work, the 3Arena or the Aviva Stadium could be venues. The Career that Changed Irish Sport Katie Taylor started boxing when she was 12 years old. In 2001, she made her debut as an amateur and rose quickly through the ranks. She pushed herself forward at a time in Ireland when female fighters had limited opportunities. At the age of 15, she competed in Ireland's first women-only bout. She won many amateur world titles before winning Olympic gold in London 2012. Taylor has continued to push boundaries in the world of professional wrestling. The four-belt era saw Taylor become the undisputed champion of two weight classes. Few fighters have ever achieved this feat, whether they are male or female. She was able to bring women's fighting into the spotlight through her rivalry with Amanda Serrano. The fights attracted large crowds, and they were covered extensively by major media outlets. This proved that women's fighting belongs in the most prestigious arenas. A Dream Goodbye at Croke Park Taylor has one final goal. Taylor wants to compete at Croke before retiring. Croke Park, the iconic Dublin stadium that has played host to some of Ireland’s most memorable sporting moments. In the past, costs have prevented this plan from being implemented. Taylor is still hopeful. The Irish would be able to see their most famous athlete in person if he were to fight his final bout at Croke park. She will look at other locations in Dublin if the event is not possible there. She plans to finish her career in Dublin, regardless of the venue. Legacy beyond Titles Taylor's influence goes far beyond medals and belts. Taylor helped change attitudes towards women's sport in Ireland. She was humble and often thanked the fighters that paved her way, such as her inspiration Deirdre Goguety. Taylor is one of the best boxers in her generation. She is considered by many to be one of the best athletes Ireland ever produced. She prepares to make one last walk around the ring this summer. She wants this moment to be Dublin's.

What Should England Do About Jos Buttler? England face a big selection call ahead of the World Cup semi final. The main question is clear. What should they do about Jos Buttler? Buttler has struggled at the top of the order in recent matches. That dip in form has raised doubts about his role. Still, few doubt his class or his record in white ball cricket. Move Buttler Down the Order? One option is to move Buttler into the middle order. This could ease the pressure to attack from ball one. In one day cricket, he often plays as a finisher and handles that role well. In T20s, he has batted at five and six 45 times for England. However, he has not done that regularly since 2018. A shift now would require another player to open the innings. Tom Banton and Will Jacks are natural openers. Banton returned to the squad to strengthen the middle order, especially against spin. Jacks has impressed as a finisher in this tournament. He has scored 159 runs from just 90 balls. Harry Brook and Jacob Bethell have also opened in the IPL. Brook recently smashed a brilliant century at number three. Bethell, on the other hand, does not always start quickly. Swapping Brook and Buttler is possible, but it may disturb a settled position. Another factor is Buttler’s partnership with Phil Salt. Before the tournament, many saw that opening pair as one of England’s biggest strengths. Breaking it up would be a bold step. Should England Drop Him? Dropping Buttler looks unlikely. He signed a new two year central contract last year. He has been a key part of England’s white ball teams for more than a decade. Leaving him out of a World Cup semi final would be a massive call. The match could take place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Buttler has an excellent IPL record at that ground. He has scored 94 not out, 89 and 116 there. Ben Duckett is the spare batter in the squad. He is also short of form. This winter, he has averaged just 18.88 across 12 matches in all formats. He even fell for a first ball duck in his most recent innings. England could also turn to Rehan Ahmed, a leg spinning all rounder. That would be a surprise move and a clear gamble. A Final Chance to Respond England’s next match against New Zealand offers a low pressure chance. They have already qualified, so the result will not change their position. This game could help Buttler find rhythm before the semi final. Former England spinner Alex Hartley backed him strongly. She said anyone writing Buttler off needs to think again. According to her, one clean shot could change everything. She believes he will deliver when it matters most. England now face a tough decision. Stick with their proven match winner, or make a bold change at the top?
