Croke Park Boss Eager to Stage Fury-Joshua Heavyweight Clash in Dublin
Talks could bring the long-delayed heavyweight bout to Croke Park, with Katie Taylor set for the undercard and officials citing an 80,000-plus crowd.
- Croke Park stadium chief executive Peter McKenna confirmed on Thursday that talks are underway to host Tyson Fury versus Anthony Joshua, with Irish icon Katie Taylor potentially appearing on the undercard.
- Past attempts to stage the 'Battle of Britain' between Fury and Joshua have been derailed by contract disputes, injuries, and losses, preventing the two heavyweight champions from meeting in the ring.
- Croke Park holds over 80,000 spectators, though McKenna emphasized that managers and promoters for all three fighters must reach agreement for the event to proceed.
- Promoter Eddie Hearn suggested Joshua might seek a 'warm-up' fight before facing Fury, potentially delaying the Dublin showdown while the former champion resumes training following a December car crash.
- Fury warned that time is limited as he prepares to end his 16-month absence from the ring on Saturday against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
