Boxing champion Katie Taylor holds a public workout at The Helix theatre in Dublin, telling people that “40 is the new 30” as she prepares for her final professional fight. Taylor is shown training and sparring in front of a small crowd on Wednesday evening, with outlets describing the sharpness of her work.
The session takes place about three days before Taylor’s last professional bout against Flora Pili at Croke Park. Irish Examiner and RTE both report on Taylor’s upbeat message during the workout, portraying it as part of her build-up to the event. While coverage differs in tone and emphasis—one outlet focuses more on Taylor’s appearance and readiness, the other highlights her direct reassurance to the public—the basic facts are aligned: the public workout occurs at The Helix, Taylor makes the “40 is the new 30” remark, and the fight against Pili is scheduled for days later at Croke Park.
