Katie Taylor became the undisputed super lightweight champion on September 5, defeating Flora Pili at Croke Park in Dublin to claim the vacant WBC World Super Light title alongside her existing IBF, IBO, and WBO belts.
The Irish boxing star's victory over Pili (12-0-0) marked another milestone in her professional career, which began in November 2016. Taylor now holds all four major sanctioning body titles at 140 pounds, cementing her status as one of boxing's premier female fighters.
The fight took place at Croke Park, Ireland's largest stadium and a fitting venue for Taylor's historic achievement on home soil. The 37-year-old orthodox fighter from Bray, Ireland, who now resides in Vernon, Connecticut, improved her professional record with the victory.
Taylor's path to undisputed status included notable wins over Amanda Serrano in back-to-back fights. She defeated Serrano at Madison Square Garden in July 2025, defending her IBF, WBC, and WBO super lightweight titles. That victory came after their November 2024 encounter at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where Taylor won despite losing a point for headbutting in round eight.
The road to this moment also featured her rivalry with Chantelle Cameron. After losing to Cameron in May 2023 at Dublin's 3Arena, Taylor avenged that defeat in November 2023 at the same venue, reclaiming the IBF, IBO, WBC, and WBO super lightweight titles.
Taylor's professional boxing career spans from 2016 to 2025, during which she has compiled a record of 25 wins and 1 loss across 26 bouts. Standing 5'5" with a 66-inch reach, she has scored 6 knockouts in her professional career, representing a 24% knockout rate over 224 rounds of competition.
The victory over Pili represents the culmination of Taylor's dominance in the super lightweight division, where she has held multiple world titles since moving up from lightweight. Her status as an inactive fighter according to BoxRec appears outdated given her recent championship victory at Croke Park.
