Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport is hoping to line up a fight for Katie Taylor (5-0, 3 KOs) on the undercard of Mikey Garcia’s eagerly-anticipated junior welterweight clash with four-time world champion Adrien Broner on July 29.
The fight will potentially take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn or the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and it will be televised by Showtime, potentially giving Taylor a chance to impress in front of a big audience in the United States.
Garcia won the WBC lightweight world title, the third divisional belt of his career, this past January at the MGM Grand.
Hearn recently told iFL TV that he is now looking at the possibility of the Olympic gold medallist being featured on the show.
"We're looking at Katie Taylor potentially on the Mikey Garcia and Broner card," Hearn said. "It looks like the Barclays Center but I think they're still trying to secure the venue."
The Matchroom Boxing supremo had spoken of his desire to take Taylor to America after another comprehensive win in her last bout on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s win over Wladamir Klitschko at Wembley.
Hearn said in April: "I think it’s an eight or 10-rounder next in America and then I’ll bring her to Dublin in October/November for the world title.
"It’s onwards and upwards from here. She got a huge reception at Wembley, a great performance and it’s America next."
