Tyson Fury is hoping to defend his world heavyweight titles against Wladimir Klitschko in Dublin this June.
The Manchester-born fighter has hinted in the past the he would like to fight at Old Trafford or Dublin's Croke Park, but it seems that the Aviva Stadium - previously known as Lansdowne Road and home to the Irish football and rugby national teams - could play host to the bout according to
The Irish Herald.
Fury cast doubts over the re-match earlier this week when he claimed he might be ready
to walk away from the sport entirely, saying that he did not want his career to become about the money.
But the opportunity to defend his titles on Irish soil might prove too hard for Fury to resist given his close ties to the country.
Fury is a former Irish heavyweight champion and, with his father hailing from County Galway, considers himself to be Ireland's first world heavyweight champion.
While Klitschko is cautious about ceding control of the location, Irish event organisers MCD have apparently impressed the Ukrainian's camp and could push a deal through.
The 27-year-old has already
turned down the chance to host the fight on a super yacht to a crowd of 120 people, who would pay $1m per ticket.
