Conor McGregor welcomed Katie Taylor's promoter to his pub this week to discuss the undisputed lightweight champion's Dublin fight.
Eddie Hearn jetted in from England to meet the UFC star at the Black Forge Inn and gave a positive update afterwards.
Taylor now looks set to fight at the 3Arena on May 20 and Hearn is hoping another victory over Amanda Serrano could lead to the 2012 Olympic gold medallist finally fighting at Croke Park.

Speaking after Monday's talks with McGregor, Hearn said: "There are a couple of phases to this. Number one, and the most important thing, is to bring Katie Taylor to Ireland. Number two, is to try and get her to fight at Croke Park.
"We talked about the numbers, cost, time-frame. The TV dates. We talked about the value also of fighting at the 3Arena. He has fought there himself, he said the atmosphere was unbelievable.
"I do think it's realistic for us that 20 May will be in the 3Arena. But I do think that a stadium fight will follow suit."
