On this morning's Gift Grub, one of Ireland's most successful sports stars weighed in on the skorts debate. Hit play now to hear the full episode.

Michael Conlan grew up in West Belfast and comes from a family steeped in boxing, so it was no surprise that he would follow in his brothers footsteps to Clonard ABC at only 8 years of age. He was always a young boxer who was full of confidence in the ring and winning an Irish title in his first year set him on his way in amateur boxing. Michael opens up about going down the wrong path in his teenage years by drinking and taking various substances from as early as 12-13 years of age. A turning point came when he was selected for the Commonwealth Youth Games at 16. He was told he would have to be drug tested and this was a moment when Michael decided things had to change in his life and from that point, he dedicated himself fully to boxing.Once Michael moved to senior level, he would soon really come to the fore and would win Ulster and Irish senior titles in 2010 and 2011. After reaching the quarter finals of the World Championships in 2011, an Olympic spot in London 2012 was secured. Michael would go on to claim a bronze medal at those unforgettable games after losing to the Cuban who would eventually claim gold. Over the next 3 years, Michael would cement himself in Irish boxing history by winning Commonwealth, European and World senior gold medals and he goes into depth about the journey to winning these major titles. Going into the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, he was the poster boy of Irish sport and alongside Katie Taylor was the favourite to claim a gold medal for Ireland. We go into depth about the build up to the hugely controversial quarter final defeat to Russian, Vladimir Nikitin. Who can forget the famous middle finger salute to the judges and the raw interview he gave to RTE straight after the fight. Michael speaks from the heart on his amateur career and there are plenty of funny stories thrown in there as well. Listen to part 1 today of our 2 part special episode.

Matthew Tyndall Jr grew up in Bray, Co. Wicklow and comes from a family steeped in boxing. Matthew talks about walking into a boxing gym at only 4 years of age and how Katie Taylor would become a huge inspiration to him growing up. Matthew would have immediate success winning an Irish title in his very first year. Throughout his illustrious amateur career, he would win 9 Irish national titles and would represent his country in European championships.Matthew would become quite disillusioned with the amateur game and would decide to turn professional in 2023 at only 20 years of age. He is currently 7-1 as a professional having just come off an unsuccessful attempt at the Irish Welterweight title against Senan Kelly in 2024 after stepping in at short notice. He has recently linked up with Irish boxing legend, Wayne McCullough in Las Vegas and is hoping to move over to train full time in pursuit of securing some titles in the very near future. Listen to Matthew's story today.

‘Boxing has a perverse way of turning every significant bout I see into something deeply personal. It is as crooked and as destructive as it is magnificent and transformative. While watching boxers risk their lives, I fall for the gory drama once more…' A passage from The Last Bell: Life, Death and Boxing, by the renowned sportswriter, Donald McRae, who joins us today. Donald is the author of five boxing books, each one more magnificent than the last, but his latest one is set to be the final chapter in a 50-year affair with the sport. I didn't just say ‘love' there, because sometimes it's so much more complicated than that, but it's certainly a consuming passion. There are still compelling characters within the sport, Rocky stories everywhere when you go looking for them, but it's also a business beset by problems – from doping to gangsterism, the free press being replaced with yes-men with cameras and the migration from broadcast networks to subscription-only digital stations. We're also grappling with a future where influencers, on one side, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on the other, hold sway. I've no doubt listeners to this show will be more than familiar with the book before this one, In Sunshine or In Shadow, the surreal story of how boxing gave people hope during the darkest days of the Troubles. And we're delighted to present a conversation with Donald that touches on the fighters who inspired him after a sustained period of grief, covering Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury, Katie Taylor, Isaac Chamberlain and the rise of Andy Lee as a boxing trainer along with covering the growing Saudi influence and the human rights stories adjacent, MTK, doping and influencer boxing.

"I remember sitting in the NICU thinking, ‘Am I going to lose my baby? Is this the best outcome for him? What will his life look like?' And then I realized—I wasn't alone in these thoughts.

That's when I knew we needed a community like Hope for HIE." — Betsy Pilon, Founder Hope for HIE We extend our sincere gratitude to our sponsor for this episode, Gebauer PainEase®.

With all the talk of what lies beyond UFC 313 for Alex Pereira, are we all discounting the fact that Magomed Ankalaev is by far his hardest test at 205 pounds? Petesy Carroll, Ben Fowlkes and Shaheen Al-Shatti discuss how a victory would impact the iconic Brazilian striker's legacy (4:03). As for the chief support, the lads ponder whether Justin Gaethje will be a changed man following his brutal knockout loss to Max Holloway when he rematches short-notice stand-in Rafael Fiziev (29:56). The conversation then turns to TKO Boxing and whether its boxing revolution will be as easily executed as most people are anticipating (44:32). Petesy shares thoughts from the homeland about Katie Taylor's big Croke Park fight never coming to fruition, as her trilogy bout with Amanda Serrano has been confirmed for July in MSG (59:11). Finally, the trio forecast what Ilia Topuria has teased with a recent post online (1:07:25) and try to formulate a way to destroy Chuck Mendenhall's reign as Uncrowned's king of picks (1:14:22).

"If something doesn't feel right, don't ignore it. Keep asking questions. You know your child better than anyone."-Jessica Baird, CCLS We extend our sincere gratitude to our sponsor for this episode, Gebauer PainEase®. We are pleased to provide more information about this product, and we invite you to learn more by visiting their website. What do you do when doctors keep telling you nothing is wrong—but your child is in pain every single day? For Jessica, a child life specialist and mom, that answer was simple: keep pushing until someone listens. In this powerful conversation, Katie sits down with Jessica to talk about the emotional, and eye-opening journey she went through to get answers for her daughter. What started as mild COVID symptoms quickly turned into persistent leg pain, countless doctor visits, dismissals, and dead ends—until finally, they got the diagnosis: long COVID. Katie and Jessica dive into what it feels like when medical professionals dismiss your concerns, how to find the right doctors who will listen, and why trusting your instincts as a parent is everything. They also talk about how long COVID is still misunderstood, especially in kids, and what families can do if they suspect their child is affected. What You'll Take Away from This Episode:

Katie recently shared her story of working in Hollywood in film and television casting. In the midst of those experiences, God captured her heart with the desire to share—spiritually and professionally—with young adults in South Africa.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson headlined a boxing event that was streamed by over 100 million people on Netflix this past Friday. While the card was a gigantic success, and the rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano delivered a Fight of the Year contender, the Paul vs. Tyson main event was underwhelming, and the Netflix experience appeared to be even worse. On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to the Paul vs. Tyson fight card, the good, the great, and the awful, if more of these events will happen, and what is next for Paul after the lackluster decision victory. Additionally, topics include Jon Jones' easy win over Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 309, the reaction from the MMA community, where Jones ranks pound-for-pound and if he'll fight Tom Aspinall — or anybody else — Charles Oliveira's lopsided win over Michael Chandler, Saturday's UFC Macau event headlined by Petr Yan vs. Deiveson Figueiredo, and more.
