Eddie Hearn said on Wednesday that Katie Taylor deserves top-billing for her farewell fight at Croke Park as he ruled out the Dublin stadium staging the long-awaited ‘Battle of Britain’ clash between former world heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.
Hearn travels to Dublin on Friday to finalise negotiations for what is expected to be the last appearance of London 2012 Olympic gold medallist and multiple professional world champion Taylor’s celebrated career.
Croke Park chief executive Peter McKenna said last week the stadium, which has a capacity of over 82,000, “would be able to facilitate” the 39-year-old Taylor’s farewell if it also won the race to stage Joshua’s bout against Fury.
But with what could be the biggest fight in British boxing history now being lined up for November, Dublin is no longer seen as a viable option.
“If this (Joshua v Fury) takes place in November, it won’t be outdoors in Dublin and so therefore we just want to move forward with Katie Taylor,” Matchroom promoter Hearn said.
“With all due respect, I don’t think it’s the place to do this fight, either. Also, absolutely over my dead body is Katie Taylor going on an undercard at Croke Park.
“We’ll find out more on Friday. We’re ready to go and are up for doing it. Not necessarily with a finalised opponent, but in terms of the costs and the running of the show.”

Mar 6, 2026; Dallas, Texas, USA; Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (24) is helped off the ice by left wing Jason Robertson (21) after being injured during the game between the Stars and the Avalanche at American Airlines Center. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz will not play in the first two games of the Western Conference first-round series against the Minnesota Wild due to a lower-body injury, head coach Glen Gulutzan announced.
Hintz has been sidelined since sustaining his injury while jostling along the boards with Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon during the Stars’ 5-4 shootout loss on March 6.
“Certainly, Roope won’t be in Games 1 or 2,” Gulutzan said. “We don’t know when he could come back or if he could come back. We’ll see.”
Hintz, 29, has recorded 44 points (15 goals, 29 assists) and a plus-16 rating in 53 games this season.

The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has adopted the ‘Kohima Declaration’ for giving a major push to develop athletics in Nagaland and the Northeast through targeted interventions, infrastructure support and promotion of the region as a hub for national and international competitions.
Adopted at the conclusion of its two-day annual general meeting here, the declaration emphasises integrating the Northeast into the national sporting ecosystem while creating pathways for youth to excel at the highest levels.
It also underlined the role of athletics in nation-building and fostering unity across regions.
Briefing the media here on Wednesday, South Asian Athletics Federation president Lalit K. Bhanot said the meeting involved extensive deliberations and resulted in key decisions aimed at strengthening the sport.
Among them, the federation has made SRY gene testing mandatory for athletes participating in national competitions, with the cost to be borne by AFI in collaboration with the government.
The federation will also undertake DNA testing of athletes for research and performance mapping, beginning with around 100 athletes, said Bhanot.
In a move to expand grassroots participation, AFI has decided to restructure district-level bodies to ensure wider rural representation by limiting members from district headquarters and including those from villages and blocks.
To popularise athletics nationwide, the federation will organise an annual 2-kilometre race across about 700 districts on August 30 each year, Bhanot informed.
AFI vice-president and World Athletics president Adille J. Sumariwalla announced action against non-performing state units, stating that the existing bodies in Chhattisgarh and Arunachal Pradesh will be suspended and replaced by ad hoc committees.
According to Sumariwalla, Tripura and Manipur have been placed on a watch list and downgraded to associate members without voting rights, warning of further action if performance does not improve.
He also informed that foreign high-performance directors have been appointed for senior and junior athletes to enhance India’s competitive standards.
