Eddie Hearn insists Katie Taylor deserves to take top billing for her farewell fight at Croke Park this summer as he ruled out the Dublin venue hosting Anthony Joshua’s clash with Tyson Fury.

Matchroom promoter Hearn flies to the Irish capital on Friday to finalise negotiations for what will be the last appearance of Taylor’s decorated career.
