Episode 272 w/ Katie Taylor

Published 14 hours ago
Description

It's hard to understand how much this episode means to us - Katie Taylor is a hero of Irish sport and a dream guest for a long time.

This weekend, we joined her as she drove around the country promoting her final ever fight in Ireland's most iconic arena, Croke Park. Katie told us what it means to follow in Muhammad Ali's footsteps fighting in Croke Park and how she knew this was the right time to retire.

She got emotional talking about the Olympics and the fight to get women's boxing recognised as a sport, and opened up about achieving a childhood dream to representing her country - Not to mention winning gold.

Katie didn't stop at gold though - She's put on incredible battles as a professional boxer and is an inspiration to so many young girls in Ireland. As we travelled around we saw first hand how much that legacy means to Katie and how she hopes to inspire the next generation of sports stars.

Tickets to see Katie fight in Croke Park will be on sale from Friday June 12, on Ticketmaster.
