WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán meets with his friend Ruairí de Búrca, Ambassador of Ireland to Mexico, to share details about one of the upcoming major events in international boxing. During the meeting, Mauricio Sulaimán presented the “Queen of the Celts” Belt, a special championship work of genius that will soon be unveiled to the public and will be at stake in the highly anticipated showdown between active legend Katie Taylor and Flora Pili. The fight will take place at the iconic Croke Park in Dublin, one of Ireland’s most emblematic sporting venues and home to major hurling and Gaelic football events, the country’s national sports. The meeting also highlighted the deep connection between Ireland and boxing. Throughout the years, the sport has served as a point of unity for people across the island, demonstrating that boxing can transcend borders, differences, and divisions. The tribute to Katie Taylor will carry special meaning in her homeland, where her career has inspired generations and made her one of the most important figures in the history of women’s boxing. The “Queen of the Celts” belt represents precisely that connection between Ireland, its culture, and the greatness of one of its most iconic sporting figures. The story will continue to be written in Dublin, where Katie Taylor and Flora Pili will battle for a title that celebrates much more than a fight: it celebrates identity, tradition, and the unifying power of boxing.
