Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, believes the unbeaten Dubois represents the ideal final test for Taylor, who is expected to hang up her gloves later this year.\n\nTaylor, widely regarded as one of the greatest female boxers of all time, is finalising plans for a farewell fight that is widely expected to take place at Dublin's iconic Croke Park this summer. The 38-year-old has not yet confirmed her opponent, but Dubois has repeatedly expressed her desire to be the one standing across the ring.\n\nSpeaking to Sky Sports News, Bidarian outlined the appeal of the matchup. \"We would love for that to happen. I think it makes all the sense in the world,\" he said. \"When I spoke about it a few weeks back in our debut show, I was speaking to the UK audience. I think the UK and Ireland would salivate over such a matchup.\"\n\nThe promoter added that the fight carries symbolic weight beyond just a sporting contest. \"I believe it is a global fight, but definitely for the UK, for that opportunity for the passing of the torch,\" Bidarian explained. \"Tough fight for Caroline, Katie is a tremendous fighter, but I think it is the right swansong event for Taylor at Croke Park against Caroline Dubois.\"\n\nDubois, 25, enhanced her credentials last month with a dominant unanimous decision win over Terri Harper, flooring her opponent en route to capturing the WBO lightweight title. That victory added to her existing WBC belt, making her a unified champion at 135 pounds. The Londoner's unbeaten record and rising profile have made her a natural candidate for Taylor's final bow.\n\nThe fight would also carry significant commercial and sentimental appeal in Ireland and the UK. Taylor has headlined multiple huge events, including a record-breaking night at Madison Square Garden in 2019 and a homecoming fight in Dublin in 2023. A farewell in front of a massive crowd at Croke Park would be a fitting end to her storied career.\n\nBidarian, however, is keeping his options open for Dubois beyond a potential meeting with Taylor. He revealed that other paths are being explored, including a blockbuster clash with American rival Alycia Baumgardner. \"We are actively discussing for her to come back in August,\" Bidarian said. \"There are multiple routes she can take. She's been very clear about her desire to fight Alycia Baumgardner. We hope that happens at some point.\"\n\nBaumgardner holds the undisputed super featherweight championship and has long been linked to Dubois. A victory over Taylor would only amplify the demand for that unification bout. But Bidarian is also targeting other belts in the lightweight division as Dubois continues her ascent.\n\nFor Taylor, the decision on her final opponent remains unannounced, but the logic of facing Dubois is clear: a young, hungry, unified champion eager to prove herself against a living legend. The passing-of-the-torch narrative writes itself, and with Croke Park as the stage, it would be a fitting climax to Taylor's groundbreaking journey.\n\nDubois herself has made no secret of her desire for the fight. After defeating Harper, she reiterated her call-out, and her promoter's latest comments only strengthen the case. As the summer approaches, all eyes will be on whether the two camps can finalise terms for what would be one of the biggest women's boxing events in history.\n\nThe significance extends beyond the individuals. A Taylor-Dubois fight would be a landmark moment for women's boxing in the UK and Ireland, highlighting the depth of talent in the sport. For Dubois, it represents a chance to cement her legacy early in her career. For Taylor, it offers a chance to leave the sport on her own terms, against a worthy opponent.\n\nBased on reporting from Sky Sports.","news","Promoter Nakisa Bidarian says unbeaten Caroline Dubois is the ideal final opponent for Katie Taylor's farewell fight at Dublin's Croke Park this summer.","329411471656095745","326135625054949376","Premier League","0","2026-05-11T22:32:00Z","why-dubois-is-ideal-taylor-swansong-promoter","Sky Sports","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.skysports.com\u002Fboxing\u002Fnews\u002F12040\u002F13542938\u002Fcaroline-dubois-promoter-says-katie-taylor-fight-would-be-the-perfect-swansong-event-for-irish-boxer","326222707169431552","Anderlecht",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65],"326222713142120448","326255039762927616","326255043911094272","326257539962376192","326257546392244224","326257563345620992","326257565602156544",[57,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"Canada","Sheriff Tiraspol","Shelbourne","Como","Nottingham Forest","Heracles","Real Betis","Why Dubois is Ideal Taylor Swansong: Promoter",[76,106,136,159],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":77,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":78,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":79,"slug":80,"sourceName":81,"sourceURL":82,"teamId":83,"teamName":84,"teamIds":85,"teamNames":95,"title":105},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.
