BELFAST, Northern Ireland — Eddie Hearn's impending meeting with Katie Taylor, on the eve of another big fight weekend, is little more than sounding out how she's thinking and feeling.

After all, the undisputed junior welterweight world champion left the door open to potentially retiring after sweeping her Amanda Serrano trilogy with a 10-round majority decision win on July 11.

Two months to the day since that victory, closing an illustrious chapter in her legendary career, the Irishwoman hinted at potentially calling it a day for the first time during her post-fight interview.

Her career-long promoter Hearn believes there's no rush to make a decision as a potential Croke Park finale next summer remains possible.

"Watching it there, I thought what a great time to retire but now that some time has passed, I'm thinking she can do one more," Hearn said during a media roundtable on Thursday.

"I would say she's 50-50 in her head. Chantelle Cameron is a big fight, I believe Holly Holm is fighting Stephanie Han for the [WBA] world title later in the year, Holm has the kind of profile that would make for another big fight.

"Katie can fight anyone but if you're going to Croke Park, it's got to be a big, big fight."

Cameron (21-1, 8 KOs) has long called for a trilogy to settle her score with Taylor, as the pair are one apiece after an unexpected two-fight series in 2023.

Taylor, expected to relinquish the WBC title despite their recent extension, has the luxury of time to consider her options - even if contenders and rivals aren't pleased by it.

"I don't see her making a [firm] decision this year," Hearn added. "Time will enable you to make that choice. How she feels now is different to how she'll be in January."

On the possibility of Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions funding Croke Park for Taylor-Cameron 3, Hearn welcomed it.

"We've taken his money the last two times, Katie's made an absolute fortune and I'd like to thank him for lining her pockets - I've had a couple good nights as well - we can do it ourselves.

"Chantelle trying to goad Katie, she has no fear of anyone and beat her last time. It's a tough fight but if she had an absolute war with Serrano at the Garden, everyone would've looked at her and said that's it now.

"She won so easily, boxed like her amateur days, a masterclass with feet and speed that you just can't beat. She's chosen to box the other way for so long, so when you have a performance like that, you think she can do another one can't you?"

Taylor echoed that sentiment on Matchroom Boxing's latest Flash Knockdown Podcast when reflecting on her performance and a final hurrah.

"It was a great way to cap off the trilogy," he said. "I knew I had the potential and ability to make it easier for myself, I'm so glad I showed that with my boxing skills. It wasn't a war this time, I came out unscathed.

"The one fight I really, really want is at Croke Park. That would top off my career so well. There’s been so much talk over the past few years but I’m still clinging onto the hope that one day I can fight there, it would be the icing on the cake for me."

Hearn continued, saying the two-weight undisputed champion (25-1, 6 KOs) has inspired several generations to emulate her dizzying levels of success.

The Matchroom chief said: "Any fighter from 32-years-old and younger, they'll say Katie is their absolute idol. I started boxing because of her, or she showed us what's possible, and continues to do that. She flew over to watch our young superstar Tiah-Mai Ayton in Sunderland last week, obviously Sandy Ryan too, she's a big supporter but you need to show the younger generation what's possible."

While she may have been scouting former WBO welterweight champion Ryan as a potential foe later that same night, Taylor declared Ayton (2-0, 2 KOs) a generational talent worthy of the flight over.

The Bray-born champion, now based in the US state of Connecticut, believes the 19-year-old will go on to become the sport's greatest of all-time once her career is over.

"I've never seen a female fighter like her before, this girl is very special."
