"A rematch would be absolutely phenomenal and if it was in Dublin, we could sell out Croke Park.
"We saw something special tonight, imagine what could happen in front of 80 or 90 thousand. Absolutely it could happen."
Hearn also suggested that a fight could be set for some time just after the summer of this year.
"It would be a great shame if she didn't get a chance to fight in Ireland during her career, so if we could do that, back end of the summer," added promoter Eddie Hearn.
The problem is to go to Croke Park you really have to go at the end of August, the latest first week in September is pushing it so, he told the MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) Hour
It is quite a fast turnaround,"
"I mean, for a fight at the end of August you've got to start training in June.
You've got a month, it's not ideal.
But also if it was the difference for Katie between fighting at Croke Park and not fighting at Croke Park then we'll look at it."
