Kellie Harrington would love to fight in Croke Park as undercard to Katie Taylor

Kellie Harrington has revealed to RTE's Liveline that she would love to fight in Croke Park as undercard to Katie Taylor.

The 32 year old boxer, who became an Irish Olympic hero in 2021 when she brought home a gold medal, also said that she would not ask for a fee and would rather donate a fee to charity instead.

A rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano is being planned for Croke Park in October. Katie's manager Brian Peters is said to be back in Ireland with works for the fight reportedly already underway.

Residents local to Croke Park are said to be open to the special one off event along with the stadium bosses.

Katie said after her historic win in Croke Park over the weekend: "We could sell out Croke Park. Imagine fighting in front of 80,000 people at Croke Park. Absolutely that can happen."

Katie Taylor beat Amanda Serrano via a split decision at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, with immediate calls for a rematch in Ireland following the Katie's win.

Olympian Kellie was quick to congratulate the legendary boxer, labelling the Bray native a "warrior".

Kellie tweeted: "Incredible, absolutely incredible. What a warrior KT."

Other famous faces praised Katie for her impressive win, including former One Direction star Niall Horan. He wrote on Twitter: "What a performance from both ladies!! So happy for Katie Taylor."

Meanwhile, President Michael D Higgins said of Katie's triumph: "Congratulations to Katie Taylor on retaining her world lightweight boxing titles.

"Another fantastic achievement in her monumental career."
