Hearn Wants Katie Taylor to Top Croke Park Bill, Rules Out Fury-Joshua ...
Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn will seek a deal for Taylor’s farewell bout, which officials say could draw after Croke Park’s All-Ireland commitments end.
- On Friday, Matchroom Boxing chairman Eddie Hearn and his team will travel to Dublin to negotiate staging Katie Taylor's career farewell at Croke Park later this year.
- The two-weight undisputed world champion has long sought a final bout at the iconic stadium, hoping to conclude her illustrious career with a fight on Jones' Road.
- Hearn dismissed suggestions of Taylor appearing on a Fury-Joshua undercard, stating, "absolutely over my dead body is Katie Taylor going on an undercard at Croke Park."
- Croke Park chief executive Peter McKenna previously suggested the venue could "facilitate" the swansong, though availability remains tight due to summer concerts and All-Ireland finals.
- With Taylor turning 40 in July, Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian proposed unified lightweight champion Caroline Dubois as the ideal "last dance partner" for her farewell.
