The news was confirmed during a Matchroom press conference in Croker last Friday, following longstanding negotiations between organisers and the GAA.

One of Ireland's greatest ever athletes will see her name next to the legendary Muhammad Ali as the first boxer to fight in Croke Park since 1972.

Tickets are on sale this week for one of the biggest sporting events in Irish history.

At her press conference, Katie Taylor said: "We've actually brought boxing back to Croke Park.

"This is going to be the most iconic moment of my whole career.

"I have a chance to become a three-time undisputed champion, how amazing is that? The perfect way to end my career."

Promoter Eddie Hearn paid a heart warming tribute to the Irish boxing legend.

He added: "Going through her career, from sending a DM saying she wanted to turn pro to those Serrano fights, the Cameron bouts, the journey has been incredible.

"It'll be the biggest crowd in the history of female sport for an individual athlete, it'll be one of the greatest sporting moments this country has ever seen. More important than that, it'll be her moment."
