Eddie Hearn is insisting that a Katie Taylor fight in Croke Park can still happen, but the Matchroom promoter has doubled down on his stance that unreasonable costs input paid to the original planned bout at the GAA’s flagship stadium.

The intention was that Taylor, who will now make her long-awaited Dublin homecoming against Chantelle Cameron at the 3 Arena on May 20th, would fight Amanda Serrano on Jones' Road in a repeat of their New York classic, but the proposal fell through in a dispute over numbers.
