(OCT 1) DUBLIN, IRELAND — The Women’s Boxing Archive Network (WBAN) has officially named Katie Taylor as its October 2026 Fighter of the Month. This prestigious honor follows Taylor's recent retirement from professional boxing, cementing her legacy as one of the very top and greatest female boxers to ever step into the ring.

Taylor closed the final chapter of her historic career in front of a  sold-out crowd of 83,000 boxing fans in Ireland, where tickets for the monumental event famously sold out in just 15 minutes.

Taylor’s retirement marks the end of an era for a fighter who consistently sought out the toughest challenges available. Operating in the sport's most fiercely competitive lightweight and super-lightweight divisions, Taylor thrived in a deep pool of world-class talent. Unlike the historically thinner heavier weight classes, Taylor’s divisions required navigating a dense gauntlet of elite contenders, making her long-standing dominance all the more remarkable.

It is not surprising that Taylor was the top P4P Female boxer named in many boxing entities.

Among her defining career achievements, Taylor in her iconic trilogy against Puerto Rican boxer Amanda Serrano, defeating her three times in matchups.  Taylor also avenged the sole blemish on her professional record by winning a grueling rematch against Chantelle Cameron.

As Taylor hangs up her gloves, she leaves behind an unparalleled resume spanning both the amateur and professional ranks.
