Iconic stadium outside the UK could stage Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury showdown

  • Croke Park's chief executive, Peter McKenna, has expressed a strong desire to host a potential boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in Dublin.
  • McKenna hopes that securing such a high-profile event would also enable Irish boxing icon Katie Taylor to have her retirement fight at Croke Park.
  • The Croke Park CEO acknowledged that “a lot of stars need to align”, requiring agreement from the fighters' respective managers and promoters for the event to proceed.
  • Tyson Fury recently reiterated his wish to face Anthony Joshua next, following his upcoming fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov this weekend.
  • Anthony Joshua is anticipated to return to the ring this summer, likely against a different opponent before a prospective bout with Fury, after being involved in a car crash in December.
