Who says you can't go home?

Not long-time women's boxing stalwart Katie Taylor, who plans to wrap up a 10-year ring career with a final defense of a collection 140-pound title belts against challenger Flora Pili at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland.

That said, it's not been a great stretch for planners.

Taylor's swan song comes less than 24 hours after former men's heavyweight champ Andy Ruiz Jr. was beaten in a return to the ring after more than two years away, and a week after phenom Moses Itauma was toppled in his first bid for a professional world title after 14 consecutive pro victories.

So, we'll see.

The Taylor-Pili match will headline a four-bout main card streamed by DAZN.

B/R will provide live updates when ring walks begin shortly after 2 p.m. ET.

Main Card

Katie Taylor vs. Flora Pili, 12 rounds, super lightweight
Dave Allen vs. Thomas Carty, 10 rounds, heavyweight
Paddy Donovan vs. Tyrone McKenna, 10 rounds, welterweight
Taylor Bevan vs. Emmet Brennan, 10 rounds, super middleweight

Speculation Gratification

Like the Ruiz fight card in New Jersey on Friday, the Taylor show in Ireland presents multiple opportunities for those interested in cashing in on upset hunches.

Taylor is a -2000 favorite according to lines set by DraftKings, and a $100 flyer on Pili, who's unbeaten in 12 pro fights, would yield a $1,000 profit.

Not only did Ruiz lose on Friday night, but so did -700 favorite Alan Chaves earlier on the card.

Elsewhere on Saturday's show, heavyweight Dave Allen, who's been KO'd five times in nine career losses, is a -245 proposition to beat +190 underdog Thomas Carty, and Tyrone McKenna and Emmet Brennan are +900 and +300 underdogs, respectively, in their main-card matches with Paddy Donovan and Taylor Bevan.
