Emeritus champion is a special honour granted by the WBC to boxers they deem to have had an outstanding career.<\/p>\n
It is awarded in situations such as injuries, personal issues that will keep them away from the sport for some time, or in the case of moving up in weight, allowing other fighters to compete for the regular title to keep it active.<\/p>\n
Taylor has not indicated whether she will return to the ring following her July victory in New York, but told Matchroom Boxing’s Flash Knockdown Podcast a fight at Croke Park would be the “icing on the cake”<\/a> of her carer.<\/p>\n It is unlikely that would be possible until next August at the earliest with the Dublin stadium hosting regular GAA games.<\/p>\n Speaking in Belfast last week, Taylor’s promoter Eddie Hearn said he does not believe the Bray woman will make a decision on her future until the new year.<\/p>\n “She’s definitely not going to fight again this year or early next year so in her head right now, she’s going to have Christmas and I don’t think she’ll make an actual decision this year because time will enable you to make a decision, so give yourself time,” he said.<\/p>\n “How you feel today will probably be very different to how she feels in January or February. The worst thing to do is to retire and then in January go ‘I think I’ll have another fight’.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
