Eddie Hearn names other Irish boxers that could fight on Katie Taylor's Croke Park card

Gary Cully, Caoimhín Agyarko and Thomas Carthy could all be in line to fight on Katie Taylor's homecoming card next year, according to Eddie Hearn.

Kildare lightweight Cully scored an impressive knockout victory inside 35 seconds ahead of Taylor's fight in London on Saturday night, while Belfast middleweight Agyarko was supposed to fight on the card but had to pull out of his bout due to a hand injury.

Dublin heavyweight Thomas Carthy is managed by Dillian Whyte and is expected to have his fourth professional bout on the undercard of the English fighter's clash with Jermaine Franklin next month.

Hearn is hopeful that the likes of Cully and Agyarko could challenge for world titles on the night in Croke Park.

He explained: "Obviously we've got Caoimhín Agyarko coming through ready for a big fight. You've got Thomas Carthy who is probably going to box November 26 as well. Gary Cully... loads of Irish fighters and I just feel everybody would do anything to get on that card, which means you can give them really tough fights to get on.

"I just feel we could put a card together from top to bottom that would just be like young prospects giving them opportunities, female fighters as well, big world title fights for Irish talent. I think it would be amazing."
