The Irish boxer admitted that she was contemplating retirement after beating Amanda Serrano in their trilogy fight in July but her promoter Eddie Hearn is determined to give her an emotional farewell at Dublin's Croke Park.

Hearn told Sky Sports: "After the last fight with Amanda Serrano, it's the first time I've heard her say in a press conference 'if I fight again'.

"It's been a remarkable career. It would be a great way to go out by winning the trilogy against Amanda Serrano but the lure of a Croke Park fight would be something quite spectacular.

"She's got a few injuries at the moment. She won't fight again this year and she may not fight again. But if the Croke Park opportunity presents itself, it would be very difficult for her to turn down."

Hearn feels that a Dublin farewell would be fitting for "one of the greatest sportspeople from Ireland".

The Matchroom boss said: "For me, the greatest female fighter of all-time, probably one of the greatest sportspeople from Ireland.

"She's an absolute icon and a credit to the sport. If that's the end of the road. What a career, what a legacy, what a journey but I can also see her having another couple of fights.

"We will sit down in a couple of months and we will definitely speak to the sports minister in Ireland, who's been vocal about the possibility and desire to host a Katie Taylor fight in Ireland.

"Katie Taylor in Croke Park would be something we would never forget."
