Katie Taylor tells Eddie Hearn Croke Park is the only fight left to chase

Katie Taylor has told her promoter that a homecoming bout at Croke Park is the sole remaining ambition in her career. The Irish lightweight champion made the remark after her most recent outing.

“I had a conversation with Eddie [Hearn, promoter] after the last fight and I said, 'what else is there to chase other than Croke Park?'”

What Katie Taylor said

Taylor has fought exclusively outside Ireland since turning professional in 2016. Croke Park, the 82,000-capacity GAA stadium in Dublin, has long been floated as a dream venue for her final fight. She has not boxed on Irish soil since her amateur days.

What it moves

The comment positions a Croke Park card as Taylor's likely retirement bout rather than an interim step. Whether Matchroom can secure the venue and find a credible opponent at lightweight remains the open question. Taylor gave no timeline for when such an event might happen.
