KATIE TAYLOR has revealed she would have quit boxing if she had not been given the opportunity for a Croke Park swansong. “I’ve spoke to my family about going to Croke Park but never thought it was going to happen until a few months ago,” said Taylor. But I kept training, because in the back of my mind I was thinking about Croke Park. “Then my manager rang me up and said, ‘Croke Park is actually going to happen.’ If Croke Park, just to the north of Dublin city centre, has a special place in Irish sports history, so too has Taylor.
