“I actually had a conversation with the team after the last fight in the hotel room saying, ‘I think this is going to be it for me, guys, unless Croke Park actually happens,’” Taylor recalled. “But I kept training just because, in the back of my mind, I was thinking what if Croke Park actually happens. And they got [influential Irish music promoter] Peter Aiken involved as well, which was a game-changer in this also. And then I got the phone call from Brian saying it’s a done deal. And it’s been just amazing preparing for this fight over these last few weeks, I can't believe it's actually happening.”
