Eddie Hearn, Taylor’s promoter, confirmed he will sit down with the Bray fighter on Friday: “Not for a ‘what’s happening?’ but more a ‘how you feeling?'”
Taylor’s second and third fights with Serrano were promoted by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, who have indicated they would be willing to fund a Croke Park date with their fighter Chantelle Cameron, which would also be the final chapter of a trilogy with the current score at one win apiece.
Hearn would be happy to let Paul take the lead once again but insists it would need to be a “big fight” to make Croke Park feasible.
“After the [Serrano] fight, I thought ‘what a great time to retire’ but now I don’t know. I’d say she is 50/50 in her head,” Hearn said.
“He [Paul] can fund it if he wants. We’ve taken his money two times and it’s been beautiful. Katie has made an absolute fortune and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jake Paul for lining her pockets.
“Chantelle will try to goad Katie but she isn’t afraid of anyone. It’s a tough fight but if Katie had another war against Serrano, everyone would have asked her if that’s it, but because she boxed like Katie Taylor from the amateurs with feet and speed, you probably think you can have another one.
“I believe Holly Holm is fighting for the world title [WBA lightweight] against Stephanie Han later in the year and she has the profile. Katie can fight anyone, but if you want to go to Croke Park, it has to be a big fight.”
