Eddie Hearn insists his focus is "a million per cent" on giving Katie Taylor her dream Croke Park fight in 2023, but says he needs the Irish government's support to make it happen.
The Matchroom boss is hopeful Taylor can finally fight on Irish soil for the first time as a professional in either April or May of next year and says he has to deliver the event for the undisputed lightweight champion, who recently took her record to 22-0 with victory over Argentina's Karen Elizabeth Carabajal.
But the promoter says he needs support from the Irish government, as well as the GAA, stating that it is "very expensive" to put on an event at the famous Dublin venue.
