The prospect of hosting a rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in Croke Park has moved marginally closer after councillors in Dublin agreed to support such an event taking place.

The Bray native emerged victorious at Madison Square Garden on April 30 after a match she described as a “career-defining” performance in a split-decision points victory for the 13th overall title defence and fifth as undisputed lightweight champion.
