Katie Taylor will bring the curtain down on her decorated career with a farewell fight in Dublin this summer.
The two-weight undisputed world champion has not fought since she won her trilogy fight with Amanda Serrano in New York last July.
On Wednesday, the 39-year-old Irishwoman said she remains hopeful her swansong fight will take place at Croke Park.
“I just want to fight in Dublin to end my career,” she told RTE.
“Obviously we’re still hoping for Croke Park – we’re hanging on to a bit of hope that it can happen.
“If it doesn’t happen there are plenty of options there. I have obviously fought in the 3Arena a couple of times, the Aviva Stadium is also there.
“Croke Park would be top of the list.”
On her career, Taylor added: “It has been an amazing journey, the whole lot of it, over these last 20 years.
“I have had the highs and lows. It has been an incredible, remarkable career and I always wanted to end it here in Ireland.”
