So you have to really see if that makes sense, and we'd like to do that at Croke Park."We haven't talked to Matchroom about it, but Jake and I have talked at length about it."Cameron, 34, has been chasing a third fight with Taylor since their rematch in late 2023. This week the WBC ordered 39-year-old Taylor to defend her light-welterweight world title against the has spoken openly about her desire to fight at Croke Park, but her promoters Matchroom have been unable to come to terms with the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).Her two fights in Ireland have been at the 3Arena in Dublin, housing about 9,000 promoter Eddie Hearn says the 82,000-seater stadium has significant costs that would need to be paid upfront and it's "difficult to make the numbers work" with those and prospective however, says MVP is willing to provide the funds."100% for the right fight, we would be willing to do that," Bidarian said. "There's no doubt about it."Responding to Bidarian's comments, Hearn said: "They had the chance to fund the Serrano fight at Croke Park, but they chose to go to Madison Square Garden because it was a lot more lucrative."It's a nice soundbite. But the reality is it won't be down to Nakisa."It will be down to Katie Taylor which at this stage the first question is, do you want to fight again?"Croke Park is really the only box that's never been ticked, so if she fights again, I think it will probably come with the carrot of Croke Park.

Antman revels in 'crazy' start to Ibrox career
"When I heard Rangers were interested, I didn't need that much convincing. I had already pretty much made up my mind."If Oliver Antman's debut on Tuesday night didn't whet the appetite for Rangers fans, then the attacker's drive to be a success at the club certainly who signed on Monday from Dutch side Go Ahead Eagles, started the 3-0 win over Viktoria Plzen and assisted Djeidi Gassama on an impressive debut as he slotted in before Saturday's Premiership game with Dundee, the Finland international said: "Yeah, pretty crazy, to be honest. I haven't really had time to think about everything."Yesterday I had a day off, I could think a little bit about what's happened. But there was stuff to do with apartments and stuff like that, but it's been a crazy few days."And pretty much straight away when I came, I had a game to play. So I'm happy that it went well."To straight away play in a Champions League qualifier was a big thing for me. I've never played there before, it is a big part of why I'm here."I want to create a lot of chances, make a lot of crosses, take defenders on and just create a lot. "That's what I did in Holland, and that's what I want to do here, more of that."The 23-year-old is well aware of the standards expected at the Ibrox club, and hopes playing in an environment that demands consistent success will make him a better player."I think that will also help me a lot mentally because I have not been in a club where you actually need to win every single game," he added."I think it will improve me a lot mentally, and yeah, it's going to be a nice challenge, and I'm looking forward to it."
