Katie Taylor's former Republic of Ireland football teammates Méabh De Búrca and Olivia O'Toole join Eoin Sheahan to remember her time as a footballer before she had to commit to professional boxing.

Matthew Brennan sits down with Irish boxer Emmet Brennan just days out from a massive night at Croke Park, where he’ll fight undefeated Taylor Bevan on Katie Taylor’s historic card.

From growing up 500 metres from the stadium to finishing camp back home in Dublin Docklands Boxing Club, Emmet talks focus, pressure, and why he wants to look back in 20 years and say he won — not just that he fought in Croke Park.

He reflects on regrets, the Olympic journey, Madison Square Garden, and the mindset that keeps him level-headed. Plus: why this one could be “fight of the night”, and what he wants next — in and out of the ring.

Eddie Hearn joins Matthew Brennan to soak up the sense of occasion ahead of Katie Taylor’s blockbuster night at Croke Park — and why this feels like the “impossible dream” becoming real.

There’s talk of Katie’s legacy beyond belts, the doors she’s kicked open for women’s boxing in Ireland, and the emotion of “lasts” piling up — last presser, last weigh-in, last ring walk — with one more war to go on Saturday.
