On this episode of The Sideline Live, Orla Keeling sits down with Irish boxer Gráinne Walsh for a powerful conversation on identity, mindset, and the craft of elite performance.

From her early days in Offaly sport to competing on the international stage, Gráinne opens up about the moments that shaped her — both in and out of the ring. We explore the psychology of pressure, details that make a smart fighter, the nuances of preparation, and the resilience needed to keep showing up.

Heart, hard work, and a whole lot of honesty from one of Ireland's top athletes!
