    Emmet Brennan: The Road to Croke Park - Around the world & back again… | OFF THE BALL (EXTENDED)

    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. SUBSCRIBE at OffTheBall.com/join

    EDDIE HEARN looks ahead to 'the greatest boxing event' he has ever put on... | OFF THE BALL

    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. He reflects on the difference between just getting through fight week and actually looking around to realise what you’re part of, with Taylor-Serrano and Madison Square Garden as defining reference points. 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.

He gave his opinion on UEFA’s response to FIFA’s latest struggles. We started a new series on Off The Ball this week, where we take a deep dive into a particular subject. We kicked it off by looking at one of the most dominant sportspeople we do not know enough about – Tadej Pogačar – with Professor Gregor Starc from the University of Ljubljana, Pogačar’s biographer Andy McGrath and the former professional cyclist, Nicolas Roche. Denise O'Sullivan appeared on The COYGIG Pod, where she opened up about the struggles that motivated her to leave Liverpool and return to the States after just 6 months.

    DAVID GILLICK: "I think she will go back to America" | Birmingham's Irish Athletics Boom | Adeleke's Future

    For a last episode of Word on the Street for a few months, Susanna brings you a brilliant chat with Irish athletics legend David Gillick, fresh back from Birmingham and the unforgettable week for Irish track and field. Gillick reflects on the sea of Irish fans, the moments that defined the championships, and why the real story goes deeper than medals — from top-10 finishes to the team culture driving the next generation. He also dives into Rhasidat Adeleke’s future across 200m and 400m, the impact of injuries, and the parallels with his own tough spell in the States. Plus, a quick note from Susanna on what’s next for Word on the Street!
