In 2001, 16 year-old Alanna Audley (Now Alanna Nihell) fought a 15 year-old Katie Taylor in the National Stadium in South Dublin in what was the first ever sanctioned Women's Boxing Match in Ireland. Alanna joined Eoin Sheahan on the line to discuss that fight 25 years on, as well as her own career and her experiences training with Katie ahead of the Irish Boxer's Farewell fight on Saturday night in Croke Park.
