Katie Taylor: Croke Park talks 'very, very positive'

"It feels like the only way to wrap it up would be to end my career on home soil and a big fight in Croke Park," said Taylor

Croke Park or nowhere is Katie Taylor's stance regarding the venue for what will be her farewell bout. Fighting at the Jones Road stadium has been a long-time ambition for the Bray boxer. Numerous attempts to stage a Taylor fight there have fallen short during her 10-year professional career. 

This occasion does feel closer to getting over the line than others. Talks between Taylor's management team and Croke Park officials have taken place with those discussions being described as "very, very positive".
