Katie Taylor's Croke Park homecoming scuppered by costs

Taylor's promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that costs have now blocked the plan.

Katie Taylor's dream Croke Park homecoming is off the table, for now at least, with her much-anticipated rematch with Amanda Serrano now set to be held instead at Dublin's 3Arena on May 20 this year. 

Taylor defeated Serrano at Madison Square Garden last year in front of a sell-out crowd. And it was hoped the pair would meet again at a packed Croke park this year.
