  It’s a bonus episode of The 42FM, with Gavan Casey joining Gavin Cooney live from NYC ahead of Katie Taylor’s third battle with Amanda Serrano. This time they are the headline act at Madison Square Garden, without the accompanying circus of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.

What does this event stay about both boxers’ standing, and how will affect their legacy? Could defeat blemish Taylor’s career at all? Plus, fighting in the month she turned 39, could this be Katie’s final professional bout, and the final act of an extraordinary career?The fight is live on Netflix, with Taylor/Serrano due to get underway in the early hours of Saturday morning, at approx. 3.30am.Get in touch - [email protected], and [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

• The shattering of DJ Carey’s reputation

  On this week’s show, Sinéad and Gavin look back at the extraordinary fall from grace of DJ Carey. They contextualise his greatness as a sportsperson and explain how he defrauded people of money by claiming he needed treatment for a cancer he did not have. Did the public’s celebration of Carey as a hurler lead him down this path? And now will his standing in the eyes of that public ever be rebuilt?They also check in on last week’s story regarding Conor McGregor’s appeal against his being found liable for sexual assault, explain the unusual withdrawal of fresh evidence, and what happens next.Get in touch - [email protected] and [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

• If we can fix Gaelic football, we can fix anything

  On this week's podcast, Sinead and Gavin toast the extraordinary work of Jim Gavin and his Football Rules Committee, which has successfully saved Gaelic football. They discuss how the FRC pulled off the job, and where it stands among other ingenious rule changes in other sports. They then make the point that if Gaelic football can be saved, then anything is possible: what lessons can the government learn from the FRC in tackling the housing crisis, or regulating Big Tech?And, if the GAA can fix Gaelic football in less than a year, why can't they accelerate the process of integration?Get in touch - [email protected] and [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
