The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is not convinced that Irish star Katie Taylor will make a world title defense at Dublin's Croke Park stadium.

Taylor's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has wanted to stage the fight at the 82,000 capacity venue. Taylor has fought twice at Dublin's 3Arena.

She won Olympic gold for Ireland at the 2012 London Games.

The 38-year-old has been out of the ring since November 2024, when she picked up a tough ten round decision win in her rematch with Amanda Serrano in Texas.

At the moment, nothing has moved forward with a potential Taylor fight at Croke Park.

"Eddie hasn't been in touch with us. It flashes up every so often but no, we haven't been contacted," stadium director Peter McKenna, external told RTE Sport. "The approach seems to be megaphone diplomacy, throw everything at it and something will happen in that sense.

"Katie Taylor is a magnificent athlete and I think everyone is very, very proud of what she's achieved as an athlete, but to fill Croke Park with 80,000, you need an undercard, you need a whole razzmatazz to go with it. Those things can't be done in a short period of time.

"The calendar, really there's not a lot of space to say, 'yeah, we could fit it in on that weekend'. What time of the year would it be on? We have Oasis and Robbie Williams [in August]. Even getting an event management plan together, getting the City Council to approve it and so on, there'd be a fair bit of work in that. So I think it's a kite-flyer rather than genuine. I can't see it happening because we haven't heard about it, bar reading in the papers."
