Tyson Fury's rematch with Waldimir Klitshko is expected to take place at some point in the coming months.
On RTÉ's Today With Sean O'Rourke, back in December - in the days following his victory against the Ukrainian - Fury spoke about the rematch. He mentioned Croke Park as a possible venue for the fight.
Fighting at Croke Park has been a longstanding aim for the heavyweight world champion who identifies himself as being Irish.
Speaking to the Irish News, Fury's manager Mick Hennessy excluded GAA headquarters as a location for the fight with Klitschko.
There was some talk of it, Tyson would love the fight to be there but it’s whether the fight could do the numbers basically.
It’s not in the running, we had looked at it but it’s just not adding up. We’re looking at different venues all over the place, we’re even looking at the United Arab Emirates and it’ll end up where it makes sense commercially.
There’s a hell of a lot to take into consideration with the stadium – the numbers, the crowd and what the costs are. It’s hard, Tyson would love to fight in Croke Park but commercially it looks like it will be somewhere else.
