Boxing queen Katie Taylor’s chances of defending her world title in Croke Park in October has received a massive boost after both stadium bosses and local residents gave the idea the thumbs up.
As the Irish Mirror revealed on Monday, Katie dreams of treating fans to a knockout performance on home soil and said after the weekend’s historic win in New York: “We could sell out Croke Park. Imagine fighting in front of 80,000 people at Croke Park. Absolutely that can happen.”
However, concerns were expressed immediately because the GAA’s famous stadium has a three-gig annual limit as it is in a densely populated residential area where households fear they are disproportionately affected by events at Croker throughout the year.
