Four world title fights. All women. All on ESPN. All in three-minute rounds. MVPW-03 is live from El Paso County Coliseum on May 30 — and every champion on this card has something unfinished.

Han vs Holm II: A WBA lightweight rematch that a headbutt interrupted in round seven. Serrano vs Hanson: Amanda Serrano chases the all-time KO record against Germany's Cheyenne Hanson. Juarez vs Valle: Two champions from two weight classes collide at junior flyweight. Robinson vs Spencer: Unified middleweight titles on the line in a crossroads fight.

Between the Rounds previews every title fight — the tactics, the matchmaking, and the question nobody's asking yet: is this a platform or a moment?

: Shauna Browne: The Comeback That Wasn't Supposed to Happen

Description: Shauna Browne lost six and a half years to injuries and addiction. Five operations. Three arm surgeries. A surgeon who told her she'd never box again.

She came back, got sober, won the Irish Elite National Championship, and turned pro at 30. She's sparred Katie Taylor for the last two Serrano fights and worked with Terri Harper ahead of the Dubois unification. At 7-1, she believes she's two fights from a world title.

In this conversation, Shauna talks with Sarah Cunningham about Clonmel, the coach who shaped her, what sobriety gave her that boxing couldn't, the full context behind the Elif Nur Turhan loss that nobody understood at the time, what she sees inside world-level camps, the business reality of women's boxing, and why every fighter at 135 lbs should be worried.

This episode is part of the Unfinished Business series — long-form conversations exploring performance, career, and the decisions that shape a fighter's path.

My Final Week in Team Ireland HP — The Season Finale

The Inside Camp season finale. My last week in the Boxing Ireland High Performance programme before heading back to New York.

I came back from Poland with a list of things to sharpen. Then I rolled my ankle in the final session. We adapted. Tailored pads. Bag work. Stretched the rules a little.

This was the first week the full squad was back together — Brazil, Poland, Ulster. Lighter sessions.

And in the middle of it all, a moment with Michaela Walsh I won't forget.

Ten weeks ago I walked into this programme. I'm leaving with more than I could have ever hoped for.

Season One of Inside Camp closes here.

But the next round is already calling.

Felix Stamm 2026 boxing tournament — Team Ireland competing in Radom, Poland. Two fights. Two very different stories. One clear truth — performance isn't decided by scorecards.

Week 9 of Inside Camp covers the Felix Stamm tournament in Poland, international sparring with Poland and Great Britain, corner work with the Head Coach, and what it means to level up without always getting the win.

Between the Rounds is a content platform exploring the strategy, preparation, and decision-making that shape performance — in sport, business, and careers.

At some point, you have to stop digging and trust what's underneath". Eight weeks into the High Performance program, I’ve been selected to represent Team Ireland in the Felix Stamm Tournament in Poland.

In this episode, I talk about the decision to evict the imposter and protect my energy. I break down high-intensity sparring sessions where I stopped surviving and started thinking—including a technical micro-adjustment that was eight weeks in the making. No more spiraling. The preparation is done. Now, we perform.

I sat down with my own club coach for the first time on Between the Rounds.

Steven O'Rourke has coached fighters for over 30 years out of O'Rourke's Gym in Inchicore, Dublin. In this conversation he reveals how he reads a fighter's mental state before they know something's wrong, the coded combination system he uses mid-fight, why he builds trust before technique, and how he's kept the father-coach dynamic with his son Ryan healthy when so many others fall apart.

Whether you're a boxer, a coach, or someone interested in performance under pressure.  this is the side of the sport you never see.

In this episode: inside O'Rourke's Gym, building mental strength, coaching Ryan from six months old, when the father-coach line gets dangerous, what Steven saw in me as a fighter, who earns his coaching, "it's all in your head," task-based sparring, opponent study and game plans, code names for combinations, corner style between rounds, when a fighter stops listening, coaching women, and the future of the O'Rourke legacy.

Between the Rounds explores the strategy, preparation, and decisions that shape performance — in sport, business, and careers.

The clock isn't something I can negotiate with. So the question becomes — what can I build with the time I have? Not what's missing. What's possible.

Seven weeks into Boxing Ireland's HP camp. Decision-making is sharper. Pattern recognition is building. But experience can't be compressed into a single camp cycle.

Inside Camp is a weekly series documenting the real work behind international competition with Boxing Ireland's High Performance squad.

I'm Sarah Cunningham — elite amateur boxer competing for Team Ireland.

#BetweenTheRounds

Two MVPW cards. Two massive upsets. Six world title fights. And a fighter who's been in camp with both sides breaks it all down.

Shauna Browne — Katie Taylor's lead sparring partner for the Serrano trilogy and Terri Harper's main sparring partner ahead of Dubois — joins Sarah Cunningham to recap every major women's boxing fight from April 2026.

We cover: 

🥊 Lauren Price vs Pineiro Aquino — blood, grit, and the Mayer undisputed question 

🥊 Irma Garcia vs Emma Dolan — the 44-year-old who shocked the world 

🥊 Ellie Scotney vs Mayelli Flores — undisputed at 28 

🥊 Caroline Dubois vs Terri Harper — the knockdown, the cut, the rivalry

🥊 Alycia Baumgardner vs Bo Mi Re Shin — the callout heard around the sport 

🥊 Lani Daniels vs Shadasia Green — the upset nobody predicted 

🥊 Meatball Molly McCann — Liverpool homecoming, career-best performance 

🥊 Three-minute rounds debate — do they help or hurt women's boxing? 

🥊 Katie Taylor's final fight — who should she face at Croke Park?

Between the Rounds explores the strategy, preparation, and decisions that shape performance — in sport, business, and life.

Week 6 of camp brought a change of pace. After being sidelined by illness , Sarah explores the "entry fee" of boxing—the grueling work required to close the distance and land clean shots.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The Mastery of Adjustment: Why coaches with decades of experience are still evolving alongside their fighters.
• Don't Step Back: The common instinct to retreat after a success and why it forces you to pay the "entry fee" all over again.
• Predictability is a Trap: Why feeling comfortable in your rhythm usually means your opponent is comfortable too.
• The Corporate Bridge: How retreating after progress in business forces you to constantly rebuild your network from scratch.
