Katie Taylor's promoters are to travel to Croke Park, Dublin on Friday ahead of talks over a potential fight at the venue later this year.
The talks which will see the Eddie Hearn headed Matchroom Boxing meet with Croke Park officials, are to focus on Taylor being in a main event fight. The Bray fighter has already agreed to fight in Dublin this Summer in a career farewell.
Croke Park has already been linked with hosting a huge fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua recently, with Taylor also being linked with featuring on the card.
The Dublin venue is also hosting a friendly match between Manchester United and Leeds United on 12 August, with concerts fixed to take place during the final two weekends of the month.
Given that Croke Park are to be in action for the All Ireland finals until August 9, any possible fight would likely take place around mid-to-late August when concerts and other sports take over at the venue while the pitch is no longer being used for football and hurling.
Speaking back in February, Katie Taylor said that it would be a dream come true to end her career with a fight at Croke Park.
"Croke Park would the top of the list", she said at the time. "Fighting my last fight in our most iconic arena, how special would that be?
"I think it would be absolutely remarkable if I was able to do that. I'm not sure if it is going to happen or not", she added. "Either way, I'll be ending my career here and I'm very, very excited about that".
Back in 2023, Eddie Hearn said that he was keen to make the Croke Park dream a reality for Katie Taylor.
This came after talks to negotiate a fight for Taylor at the venue fell through in May that year, after talks broke between Hearn and stadium management broke down regarding costs. More on this story here.
