Watch her beam with pride below when speaking on the Irish support.

Talking with RTÉ, Taylor gave further insight into the Croke Park progress.

She added: "All I can say is a few weeks ago my promoter Eddie Hearn and [manager] Brian Peters had an amazing meeting with Croke Park. It was a very positive meeting. That's all I can say, I have no other confirmation other than that, but I know that the meeting went very, very well.

"From my perspective, it will be an absolute dream to end my career at Croke Park. It feels like the only way to wrap it up, really.

"I'm very, very hopeful. I know that the meeting did go very, very well. I think everybody seems to be on board. We're just waiting for confirmation. We're just waiting for a fight date now. But I'm still in the gym training. I'm not far away from fight ready. So once a day and once the flight is locked in, that's when I'll be focused on the actual flight itself."
