I\u2019m all right with that because what I\u2019ve done after that fight is I\u2019ve gone and picked up a load of silverware and I\u2019ve raised my profile and like you say, it sells. It\u2019s a great fight. He\u2019s got his obligations. I\u2019ve got mine. Let\u2019s get through what we\u2019ve got to get through and hopefully we can get it done.\u201d<br \/>Of that Croke Park scenario, Walker said: \u201cIt would be amazing, wouldn\u2019t it? You know, what a venue, what an atmosphere it would be. Of course, you know, these are the dreams. There\u2019s loads of massive fights out there. I\u2019m in that position now where I\u2019ve built my name, I\u2019ve built what I\u2019ve got to now. So I\u2019ve just got to stay chipping away, keep my feet on the ground and let my manager, my promoter, deal with everything else and I\u2019ve just got to keep winning.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThe Crocker one is what I want because I want to right the wrong,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople have&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":648557,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,1920,6653,187365,311494,85],"class_list":["post-648556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-boxingscene","tag-conah-walker","tag-sam-eggington","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=648556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648556\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/648557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=648556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=648556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
