Eddie Hearn says Katie Taylor - Chantelle Cameron rematch in Croke Park unlikely

Katie Taylor's rematch against Chantelle Cameron is more likely to take place at the 3 Arena than Croke Park, Eddie Hearn has hinted.

The promoter negotiated with GAA top brass earlier this year but cited security costs as the reason stopping Taylor's homecoming fight taking place at the stadium.

And Hearn all but confirmed that Taylor's rematch with Cameron will not take place at GAA HQ.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, Hearn said: "Maybe, I mean again it depends on timing. September’s kind of the latest that you can have that fight.

"I think a stadium would be fun, but it was pretty good in there on Saturday, I loved the arena, just unbelievable.

"And one of the things I enjoyed most about Saturday was it was a 9,000 arena, at 6.30/6.45 we had 7,000 people in. The main event was at 10.30/10.45."

The English promoter reckons that the fight will take place at 140lbs and will come before a rematch against Amanda Serrano.
