"Eddie Hearn stated, 'There is nothing else on the agenda apart from Katie Taylor. Anthony Joshua against Tyson Fury, for me, is not going to happen at Croke Park.'"
"'Katie Taylor is not fighting on any undercard. If there is a fight at Croke Park, it should be Katie Taylor and Katie Taylor only.'"
"'That is the whole story; that is the history, the legacy and nothing short of what she deserves, so on Friday, we will be at Croke Park to try and advance those talks.'"
"Katie Taylor has expressed her desire to fight in Croke Park before retiring, having not boxed since her victory over Amanda Serrano last summer."
Eddie Hearn confirmed that a fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will not take place at Croke Park. Hearn is focused on securing the stadium for Katie Taylor's farewell fight. Croke Park's chief executive suggested a shared card with Fury, but Hearn insists that Taylor deserves to be the main event. Taylor, a two-weight undisputed champion, aims for a final fight in Dublin this year after her last match in New York. Hearn emphasizes that any event at Croke Park should center around Taylor's legacy.
