Dublin's Boxing Boom

About this episode

The episode discusses the upcoming summer of Irish boxing, focusing on major events and the involvement of Martin Wall.

We’re mapping out what is about to be the most chaotic, star-studded and high-stakes summer in the history of Irish boxing. Four shows in less than two months, spanning from Leopardstown Racecourse to back-to-back weeks at the 3Arena, all leading up to a history making night at Croke Park when Katie Taylor boxes for the very last time. To break down the logistics, the promoter egos, the ticket sales and the fights themselves, we’re bringing in a man who knows the business from both sides of the ropes. Martin Wall’s a former amateur champion out of Crumlin, a former pro, a chartered accountant and the familair voice on the mic for some of Irish boxing’s greatest battles in recent years. We’re talking about potential undercards, ramifications and the long-term strategy for the fight business in Ireland.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
