Spike O’Sullivan: Shame on everyone who destroyed Katie Taylor's Croke Park dream

The news that the Croke Park homecoming fight that Taylor has spent her life fighting for is now dead in the water was confirmed by Eddie Hearn in a couple of interviews on Wednesday afternoon.

DESERVES HER CROKER SHOT: Irish sporting legend Katie Taylor.

I was trying to get in to train at the Mardyke Arena this morning but couldn’t get near the dressing room doors. I kept thinking “I’m already late…my coach is going to bloody kill me here.” But there was still no getting past people.

One by one, they stopped me in my tracks to ask me how the hell this was possible? Katie Taylor has been robbed of her dream. It’s a bloody disgrace. People are angry and they’re dead right to be.
