RTE star Ryan Tubridy has urged Croke Park bosses to reconsider their rent fee and give champion boxer Katie Taylor the “homecoming that she deserves."
Tubs backed calls to see the Bray native, who is the undisputed lightweight champion of the world, fight Amanda Serrano in a rematch in the Dublin GAA venue on May 20 and not the 3Arena as suggested.
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn claimed the cost of staging the fight at GAA HQ would be three times more than Wembley Stadium – a claim that has been denied by Croke Park’s commercial director Peter McKenna who said that was simply untrue.
