How was that for an encore from Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano? And also, how about some more controversy?
Just like their first fight, Taylor and Serrano delivered another instant classic Friday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where Taylor outlasted Serrano to remain the undisputed super lightweight champion. After 10 epic rounds, all three judges scored the fight 95-94 for Taylor, despite Taylor having a point deducted by referee Jon Schorle.
So after 2 epic fights, 20 titanic rounds boxing fans would hope, EXPECT sporting behaviour, right? As is customary in this great sport - hugs, compliments and beef settled - the better man/woman wins - you congratulate them. Not in this case, whinging, moaning and cries of cheat came from Serrano's coach [brother in law] Jordan Maldonado and indeed Serrano herself. Backstage Katie and her team were being railroaded into a media ambush - until manager Brian Peters stepped in.
All in all - an exhausting but exhilarating night of boxing that left Irish boxing fans "Walkin in a Katie Wonderland". Ian and Al are joined on this episode by renowned Irish cut man Tommy McCormack to discuss the fight and all that ensued - we have highlights of the fight itself and a word from the GWOAT Clarissa Shields.

There is no better way to describe Katie Taylor than in the words of Irish legend and former WBC world champion Christina McMahon "Katie Taylor - she just NEVER lets us down”As we prepare for the second wave of a war for the ages Ian & Al look towards what could be another classic boxing match that already sits alongside the classics. Katie Taylor has had to dig deep many times in her history making career, and Amanda Serrano was one of this occasions, but not the only one! What will we get this time around? Who knows but in this episode the lads look back over Katie’s recent fights & prepare what could possibly be one of the last fights of her career.
We also welcome Shauna O’Keefe who is making huge waves with her latest win coming over Valgerdur Gudsteinsdottir on the massive Callum Walsh card at Dublin’s 3Arena. In a boxing news exclusive, Shauna tells Enswell Boxing that she has just signed a management deal with one of the biggest names in the game. Spencer Brown, the man guiding Tyson Fury for the last number of years will now be the one to guide Shauna to the titles we hope and believe she can win.

This one is very much an impromptu episode following the announcement by Ohara Davies last night. As I watched him call time on his boxing career I recalled the Golden Contract final preview episode Enswell Boxing did with him back in 2020. On that occasion he faced Tyrone McKenna in the final and ultimately won. But the build up had been hot, both fellas never held back and after being hung out to dry by media at an earlier stage of his career - OD could be awkward if he thought he needed to be. we needn’t have worried - he was brilliant. To be honest, love him or not - OD has always been brilliant. Always been himsel, the guy with the Irish name…..

Having had a few weeks of what you could call a boxing break - the Irish boxing scene exploded into life with a return of a show that would remind fans of those heady Bernard Dunne nights. On this occasion it was ‘King’ Callum Walsh on a truly unique UFC production that lived up to all the hopes & expectations.
ian and Al look back over the card that also featured Shauna O’Keefe, Edward Donovan v Craig O’Brien, Emmet Brennan v Kevin Cronin and more.

On June 17th 2023 Monaghan's Larry Fryers walked to the ring off the back of a win that few (if any) knew the magnitude of. Not only did it end a losing streak - it proved the benefit of all the mental and personal development were starting to allow Larry deliver on the obvious talent that Irish boxing fans have always adored. On that night Fryers tore into the highly fancied Dimasah Niyazsov (14-1-3) for the WBB Super Lightweight Title. It wasn't just Larry's first belt that caught the eye that night, but the manner in which he tore into his opponent and dismantled him.
It didn't take long for his Hall of Fame manager Russel Peltz phone to start ringing and the follow up fight was soon signed, sealed with Fryers ready to deliver. But on September 11th as he ran his usual 10k route he could never have expected what was to happen when he was hit by a car that failed to stop, throwing him into the air and causing injuries and damage that would not only threaten his boxing career, but could well have cost him a lot more!
In this first (of 2 part) interview Larry talks to Al about all if that, about the arrival of his new son, and about the importance of his faith through a nightmare 12 months that would have finished most other careers. Ian continues his 'Ones to Watch' series as he speaks with Wade Pasfield again after a hugely successful season that saw him win a Leinster title and narrowly miss out in an All Ireland final.

Irish welterweight Francy Luzoho has been a friend of this show since day dot. Back then he was based in Blanchardstown and trained in Inchicore. We've spoken to him in his various stops around the world like Champs camp in Lanzarote, on to Tenerife, to Box Smart Elite in West Midlands and now to MLSS Community hub in Walsall where he has just won the WBF Silver Welterweight title under the tutelage of coach Bhupinder Singh, nicknamed Pops, as he looks to take his career to the next stage.
"I love the struggles and the journey. I'd be lying if I said it was all nice and easy. "I've had my ups and downs, my trials and tribulations during these camps. If the majority of people knew what was going on throughout the camp they'd be shocked, but it's part of the game. It's like a medal of honour and they've moulded me into a more ferocious and vicious fighter."
Despite that, Luzoho has also made himself at home at The MLSS Community Hub is also well known for several initiatives in Bloxwich where they help feed local families and deliver food parcels to schools and although his career at the forefront of his mind, Luzoho joins these community heroes to deliver those services which have grown from feeding one homeless man in 2013 to serving over 42,000 meals every week across 24 cities in the UK, Berlin and India.
We speak to Francy about all of this and also hear from some of the young boxers in the community that Francy is helping to prepare alongside 'Pops' for their upcoming skills bouts.

With all the recent controversy and media coverage surrounding the Irish squad selection for the final Olympic qualifiers - it was going to take something special to drown out that noise. That something special came in record form - Kellie Harringon, Michaela Walsh, Aoife O’Rourke & Aidan Walsh are double Olympians, Dean Clancy, Jude Gallagaher, Jack Marley, Jennifer Lehane, Grainne Walsh & Daina Moorehouse qualifying. A record 10 qualifiers.
It wasn’t that long ago Brandon McCarthy was on course to be part of that Olympic dream - but tonight he looks to go 2-0 as a pro in Florida.

The boxer’s world is very different to that of any other profession. In a fight - minutes seem like hours and in the fight business - hours seem like days etc. So with everything else that has transpired in the boxing world since Josh Taylor & Jack Catterall first fought - fans would be forgiven if the details were a bit cloudy.
This episode was actually recorded in the immediate aftermath of the fight between Josh Taylor & Jack Catterall where the contentious scoring & controversial result brought outrage
& over reaction levels to a new level.
We hear from 2 former world champions George Groves & Wayne McCullough - both of whom know all too well what it feels like to be on the wrong end of a controversial decision.

When we look through the history of boxing there are numerous legendary Irish names that feature prominently in both amateur AND paid ranks. Despite the highs and lows of a domestic scene, the peaks and troughs of popularity and support - there are still a couple of authentic, hard working & honest outposts. Gyms where folk can go to train for whatever fight they face next.
For Keane McMahon, Ryan O’Rourke & John Cooney the fights are on high profile cards on a Star Boxing show in New York, or the Europa hotel in Belfast. For others - it’s a personal fight, a battle to get fit or a fight that nobody knows about.
Regardless of the battle - O'Rourke's Gym is one of those authentic boxing gyms where pros, amateurs & keep fit fanatics all spill blood, sweat & tears under the watchful guise of the experienced Stephen O’Rourke.
