She doesnât stand a chance
"Croke Park is not done yet. But there is unbelievable momentum, as I said before, from the government, from Croke Park, from Katie Taylor, but more importantly, the people of Ireland. Everybodyâs just got this will-not-be-denied approach to making this happen.
"I have also brought it upon myself, having been there, having seen images of Katie Taylor, just to say we canât not do this. We canât walk away. Whatever the hurdles are, we have to jump them. Whatever the barriers are that are put up, weâve got to go straight through them.
"This moment of watching her walking through the tunnel of Croke Park, in front of 80,000 people, would the biggest female event of all time. Forget female boxing, forget boxing, forget menâs boxing, this is one of the greatest sporting events that the world will ever see.
"The absolute pinnacle of this womanâs life, who has given every ounce of her soul to her country, to her sport, to break down barriers and to pave the way for every female fighter of her generation.
âThere will not be a dry eye in the place when she walks out there. I want that moment. Selfishly, I want to stand in the ring and just watch and look around to see the moment that Katie Taylor walks out of Croke Park and ticks off the final box of her incredible career.â
