The 80,000-seat stadium is being lined up for the event, but timing is determined by Fury beating Arslanbek Makhmudov this weekend and Joshua selecting to not take a summer fight.
If Joshua opts for a return bout before facing Fury, the fight shifts toward the top of the yr, potentially within the UK.
Croke Park CEO Peter McKenna outlined how the event could also bring Katie Taylor to the venue. “The true hope is that we are going to get Tyson Fury here afterward within the yr. That may be such a world-billing event that we’d have the opportunity to facilitate a Katie Taylor fight here,” he told BBC Sport.
“Lots of stars must align. Katie’s manager must agree, Katie’s promoter must agree, Tyson Fury’s promoter must agree.
“I’m very confident that each one three are coming to the sense that that is one in every of Ireland’s biggest sporting athletes and it will be such a ‘wow’ to have her here and for her to complete her profession here.”
Irish star Katie Taylor has long targeted a fight at Croke Park and has previously stated her ambition to finish her profession in Dublin, though her team has yet to comment on the newest discussions.
Fury has also addressed the situation directly. “I would like to fight Joshua next,” he told BBC Sport, though he confirmed that no agreement is currently in place.
If each stay on target, Croke Park becomes the front-runner for one in every of the largest heavyweight fights of the yr.
