Send us Fan MailThe fight looked like a coronation until it turned into a warning label. We're breaking down Filip Hrgovic vs. Moses Itauma, the night Hrgovic grabs the IBF heavyweight title and the hype train hits a wall when the pace, the body work, and the gas tank finally catch up. We talk about what Hrgovic did right as a veteran, why his chin and composure matter in today's heavyweight boxing, and how one late swing in momentum can rewrite a career.Then we get into the stuff fans argue about all week: coaching decisions, camp preparation, and the danger of believing your own press. We unpack the Ben Davison questions, the “next Mike Tyson” comparisons, and the harsh truth that talent doesn't survive championship rounds without conditioning and a backup plan. From there, we zoom out to the wider heavyweight landscape and what matchups make sense now that the division feels more open.We also hit women's boxing with Mikaela Mayer vs. Chantelle Cameron, why close rounds and no adjustments are a risky strategy on the road, and what Katie Taylor's farewell moment says about a generation that's taken real miles. To close, we preview the Newark, New Jersey card, including Vito Mielnicki Jr. vs. Austin “Ammo” Williams and Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Damian Knyba, plus we introduce our new weekly picks game where missed “locks” mean shots before the next recording.THE SPAR-INN ON YOUTUBE

Katie Taylor has spent 25 years making boxing history. This weekend, she will also make a fortune. The Bray boxer was just 15 when she won her first competitive fight.

So, how big will Taylor's final payday be? And as the curtain comes down, just how much is Ireland's greatest boxer worth?

In a startling collapse that culminated one of the most dramatic heavyweight fights of the year, Moses Itauma ultimately met his match in the shape of the rugged and unyielding Filip Hrgovic. But what came before that fateful ninth round should tell us two things: Hrgovic is built differently to most and Itauma, for different reasons, is also one of a kind. So, what went wrong? Plenty have suggested that Itauma merely misread his own gas tank and, with crucial experience gained, will come back better and stronger. But one also wonders if it will be as simple as that. The psychological scars could be substantial, after all. There's also the performance of Ben Davison to consider. Has he really gone from one of the best trainers around to a clueless buffoon who doesn't know when to throw a towel? Or is someone like the precocious and instinctive Itauma simply impossible to teach or manage? Elsewhere, Chantelle Cameron got past Mikaela Mayer, who again believed she deserved more from the scoring judges after an entertaining scrap. And looking ahead, Katie Taylor prepares for her swansong in a Croke Park showcase surely designed to ensure she's still singing at the end. Spread the word of The Opening Bell, comrades.

How do families navigate a serious childhood diagnosis while still focusing on hope, quality of life, and the everyday moments that matter most? In this episode of Inside the Children's Hospital Podcast, Katie Taylor sits down with Dr. Korie Leigh, PhD, CCLS, a child life specialist, psychologist, thanatologist, author, educator, and pediatric palliative care advocate. Drawing on more than two decades of supporting children and families, Dr. Leigh shares what pediatric palliative care really is—and why it is so much more than many families believe. Together, they explore how pediatric palliative care supports children living with serious or complex medical conditions from the time of diagnosis, helping families manage not only medical needs, but also emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual well-being. Dr. Leigh discusses how parents can advocate for palliative care services, even if they are not offered at their local hospital, and explains why caregiver support and respite care are essential parts of caring for the whole family. The conversation also dives into resilience, grief, and the power of creativity. Dr. Leigh shares how writing can become a meaningful tool for processing difficult experiences, why preparing children for life's hardest moments matters, and how her books were created to help families navigate conversations surrounding illness, hospitalization, and loss with confidence and compassion. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis, caring for a child with a complex medical condition, supporting a family through hospitalization, or you're a healthcare professional looking to better understand pediatric palliative care, this episode offers practical insights, encouragement, and hope. In This Episode, We Discuss: What pediatric palliative care really means The difference between palliative care and hospice Why palliative care should begin at diagnosis How parents can advocate for pediatric palliative care Finding support when services aren't available locally Caregiver burnout and the importance of respite care Building resilience during a child's medical journey Talking with children about illness, grief, and loss Using writing and creativity as tools for healing Improving access to pediatric palliative care through advocacy   Episode Timestamps 00:00 Meet Dr. Korie Leigh 02:33 A career in child life and palliative care 05:25 What is pediatric palliative care? 08:00 How parents can advocate for support 10:59 Insurance and access to care 12:05 Why respite care matters 14:18 Supporting families beyond the hospital 15:07 Building resilience through crisis 19:13 Writing through grief and healing 22:26 Creativity as a coping tool 27:29 Books, music, and final reflections Resources Mentioned When Everything Changes: Parenting through Loss and Grief by Dr. Korie Leigh Hero's Path Palliative Dr. Korie Leigh's Website Leigh Moody (music) George Mark Children's House The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron Medical information shared in this episode is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

In this episode of Inside the Children's Hospital Podcast, Katie Taylor sits down with Dr. Amy Baxter, pediatric emergency physician, researcher, inventor of Buzzy®, and founder of Pain Care Labs, to explore how childhood experiences with needles can shape a lifetime of healthcare interactions—and what parents and healthcare professionals can do to help. After watching her own son develop a fear of needles despite her expertise in pediatric pain management, Dr. Baxter began researching why children experience pain differently and how simple, evidence-based strategies can reduce pain during vaccines, blood draws, IV placements, port access, and other medical procedures. Her work ultimately led to the invention of Buzzy®, a device now used by families and healthcare professionals around the world. Katie and Dr. Baxter discuss the science behind pain, why multiple painful procedures can have a lasting impact on children, and how connection, preparation, and developmentally appropriate support can help children build confidence instead of fear. They also share practical strategies parents can use during medical procedures, the role of child life specialists, and why helping children feel safe matters just as much as reducing physical pain. Whether you're preparing your child for routine vaccines, navigating frequent hospital visits, supporting a child with a chronic medical condition, or caring for pediatric patients, this episode offers compassionate, research-informed insights that can help make medical experiences less overwhelming for children and families.

In this episode of Inside the Children's Hospital Podcast, Katie Taylor, CCLS, sits down with Dr. Amy Baxter, MD—pediatric emergency physician, researcher, founder of Pain Care Labs, and inventor of Buzzy®—to discuss the science behind pediatric pain management and how small changes can make a big difference during medical procedures. After realizing she couldn't prevent her own son's fear of needles, Dr. Baxter dedicated her career to understanding why children experience pain the way they do and developing evidence-based solutions to help. Her work has transformed how families and healthcare professionals approach vaccines, blood draws, IV placements, port access, and other procedures that children with medical complexity often experience.

Subscription broadcaster Dazn holds the exclusive rights for fight night – but could RTÉ or Virgin Media strike a late deal to ensure that this momentous night of Irish sport is broadcast free-to-air on terrestrial TV?Sinéad O'Carroll brings Niall Kelly up to speed on the latest state of play in the broadcast negotiations, which look set to come to a head this week, before the pod discusses the existing free-to-air legislation which designates certain sporting events as “of major importance to society”.What events rightly belong on the list, and where should the line be drawn between government intervention and encroaching on a vital revenue stream for sport's governing bodies and stakeholders?And how does free-to-air legislation survive in a broadcasting landscape that's becoming increasingly fractured and commercialised? Is it more important than ever or on borrowed time? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr. Katie Taylor's newly published book is titled "Gridiron Invasion: The Hidden History of Women's Football." This is a surprisingly long and complex history that actually stretches back to the 1890s. Following that is a 2005 interview with sportswriter Mike Lupica talking about his novel for young readers titled "Too Far" that explores the serious issue of hazing among young athletes.

What happens when the child you've dreamed of suddenly receives a diagnosis you've never even heard of? For Deborah, it was Angelman syndrome. In this episode of Inside the Children's Hospital Podcast, Katie Taylor sits down with Deborah Trejo, Art Therapist, to share the powerful story of her daughter Maya's journey to an Angelman syndrome diagnosis. After months of feeding difficulties, developmental delays, seizures, and countless unanswered questions, Deborah and her family finally received a diagnosis just one day after Maya's first birthday. Deborah opens up about the emotional realities of medical motherhood—from surviving the uncertainty of the diagnostic process to learning how grief and joy can exist together. She shares how finding community through the Angelman Syndrome Foundation, connecting with other parents, and embracing art as a tool for healing helped her navigate one of the most difficult seasons of her life. As both a mother and an art therapist, Deborah also reflects on maintaining her identity beyond caregiving, advocating fiercely for her daughter's needs, and celebrating every milestone along the way. Her story is an honest reminder that while a rare diagnosis may change the path a family expected, it can also reveal extraordinary resilience, purpose, and hope. Whether you're a parent navigating a rare diagnosis, caring for a child with complex medical needs, or a healthcare professional supporting families through uncertainty, this episode offers compassionate encouragement and a reminder that you are never alone.

If you asked people to name the biggest stars in Irish sporting history, Rory McIlroy, Katie Taylor and Brian O'Driscoll would be at the top of many lists – and, up until recently, many people would have gone for hurling legend DJ Carey. The former Kilkenny and GAA icon is no longer famous for his sporting prowess alone. Instead, he is currently serving a prison sentence for fraud and deception that nobody could have predicted just a few years ago. But how did DJ Carey go from a titan of Ireland's favourite game to a convicted criminal? Today on The Indo Daily we bring you the first episode from our special three-part documentary on the rise and fall of DJ Carey. This episode of The Indo Daily was first released in November 2025.

Irish boxer Grainne Walsh joins Will O'Callaghan to discuss her injury from Strandja, and the underlying ACL tear that she has been dealing with for years without even realising it!

Acclaimed Irish artist Paul MacCormaic tells Oliver about his Katie Taylor portrait, which is to be auctioned off in Wicklow.

Not for the first time, the 3Arena/O2/Point Depot has proven to be a house of pain for Irish boxing. Following in the footsteps of Bernard Dunne and Katie Taylor, Pierce O'Leary lost his unbeaten record in an enthralling encounter with Mark Chamberlain - a bout that is certain to make plenty of Fight-of-the-Year lists. Down twice early on and battling a bloodied, broken nose, Big Bang got right back into the contest by blasting Chamberlain to the canvas in a power-packed seventh round. However, just when the comeback looked on, he found himself on the receiving end of a vicious combination as his composed opponent managed to take him out. It capped off a brutal night that also saw the gallant Lee Reeves rushed to the hospital by ambulance after being knocked out by Gary Cully in one of the evening's Irish derbies.I'm joined by Joe O'Neill to intro the show, as we discuss the conflicting feelings a night like this brings, before hearing from pundits Carl Frampton, Darren Barker, and Barry Jones on the spectacle these boxers delivered for the Dublin crowd. We also hear from world champ Anto Cacace, who was in town to catch the action. Gary Cully talks to us from his dressing room immediately after his win over Reeves, sending his thoughts to his stricken opponent after possibly rescuing his own career with that late shot. We also feature reaction from Sean McComb and Adam Olaniyan, both winners on the card, as well as Craig O'Brien and Senan Kelly, who both suffered knockout defeats on the night. Dave Coldwell, trainer of Kelly's conqueror Steven Cairns, tells us why his man can go right to the top, while Mayo middleweight Eoghan Lavin helps us sum up a night that will be remembered for reasons both good and bad. All of us at The Rocky Road send our love and support to Lee Reeves, his family, and his friends during this tough time. Get well soon, Lee. Hosted on Acast.
