Katie Taylor said yesterday it was "a dream come true" that she will fight Amanda Serrano in Ireland.
Hopes are still alive the May 20 rematch can be at Croke Park after Conor McGregor offered to stump up €500,000 in security costs.
Katie said: "This is more than a dream come true my debut in Ireland against Amanda Serrano. The last fight was epic, and I expect nothing less for the next one."
BOXING promoter Eddie Hearn revealed yesterday he and Conor McGregor are “trying to find a way to make Croke Park happen” for Katie Taylor.
They spoke after the Notorious tweeted that he would pay the €500,000 security bill for a fight at the stadium.
Undefeated lightweight champ Taylor is due to slug it out with Amanda Serrano in a hyped rematch on May 20.
But hopes of staging the epic battle at Croke Park were dealt a blow after the GAA revealed the bombshell security costs.
Hearn said he was having discussions with McGregor.
