#167 Trailblazers

The night 2 teenage girls climbed through the ropes not just to  to fight each other - but to fight for the right of every Irish girl to box in the future.On that historic Halloween night in 2001, they  travelled to the world famous South Circular Road ‘Stadium’ for what has since become a historic, momentous occasion. Katie Taylor and Alanna Audley helped change the face of female boxing in Ireland. Both have gone on to carve out their own paths in the sport and, 20 years on, Al speaks to Irish News journalist and boxing expert Neil Loughran on his memories. And we also hear from Anna Moore - the Irish team manager who travelled from Newbridge to New Dehli, Limerick to Limasol and  all the other arenas around the world as Katie Taylor boxed her way into history. But she was also present the night that journey began and tells us what she saw  that night. 🕊 Twitter: @EnswellPodcast📸 Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/ycbmz5vy👤 facebook:  https://tinyurl.com/y7b9q8jk📹 YouTube: https://youtu.be/UFgmXeI2vfg💡 Business email: [email protected] 🎧 Download on Apple Podcasts: tinyurl.com/10nwroy3🎙Listen on Spotify: tinyurl.com/5hfjk3e4⚪️iTunes: https://tinyurl.com/nspz95b9🟢Spotify:  https://tinyurl.com/y7ptujmd🔴 All Platforms: https://tinyurl.com/cbw2pccs Hosted on Acast.
