Amanda Serrano's promoter says the Puerto Rican has agreed to fight Katie Taylor at Croke Park next year.
Serrano is the number one option for Taylor's dream fight at GAA Headquarters after the epic contest between the pair at Madison Square Garden back in April.
And Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, who is Serrano's promoter, says his fighter has agreed to a Dublin bout with the Bray Bomber, with the fight expected to take place in April or May next year.

Paul tweeted over the weekend: "Me & MVP are negotiating with Eddie Hearn & Matchroom to get @Serranosisters the fights she deserves. Amanda’s priority is to be the 1st undisputed Puerto Rican champ. If & when she achieves that, she’s agreed to go to Ireland to fight Katie Taylor in front of 80,000 Irish fans."
Serrano will aim to become the undisputed champion at 126lbs early next year. She currently holds the WBC, IBF and WBO belts at featherweight and is expected to challenge WBA champion Erica Cruz early in 2023.
Victory there would open the door for a rematch between Serrano and Taylor at lightweight, which would be seen as one of the biggest sporting events in history to take place on Irish soil.
Giving an update on talks last week, Matchroom boss Hearn told BoxingScene.com: “We’re in negotiations with Nakisa and MVP (Most Valuable Promotions). Obviously, our priority is to make the rematch with Katie Taylor.
"At the same time, we’d like to do a two-fight deal with them. There’s a massive opportunity for Serrano to fight Cruz and then Taylor in the big rematch.
"For Serrano to become undisputed at 126 and then fight Katie again for the undisputed at 135 at Croke Park in Dublin, it would make that rematch even bigger if you can imagine that."
Hearn added: “We need to move on Katie’s next fight.
“She has three options on Croke Park. We want to choose one within the next two weeks max. We want it to be Amanda Serrano.”
