Katie Taylor fans fume over Croke Park decision as Dublin homecoming date confirmed

Boxing fans have been left hugely disappointed by the news that Katie Taylor will not fight at Croke Park in her next bout.

It had been expected that the undisputed lightweight champion would defend her belts against Amanda Serrano at GAA Headquarters in May, but that is now off the cards due to the cost of renting the Jones Road venue, according to Taylor's promoter Eddie Hearn.

The Matchroom boss says time is running out to get a deal done for the Bray Bomber's next outing, with Taylor now set to fight in the 3Arena on May 20, but Hearn insists they will revisit the possibility of a Croke Park bout later in the year.
