Roimh bhabhta deireanach Katie Taylor san fháinne i bPáirc an Chrócaigh, amharcann muid siar ar aistear dornálaíochta an trodaí cheannródaíoch as Bré, bean a raibh uirthi troid a dhéanamh taobh amuigh chomh maith le taobh istigh den fháinne le haitheantas a fháil dá spórt. Cluineann muid ó dhornálaí gairmiúil eile, Christina Desmond, ón iardhornálaí idirnáisiúnta amaitéareach Antoine Toto Ó Gríofa, ón tráchtaire Cárthach Bán Breathnach, agus ón luthchleasaí agus teagascóir corpoideachais, Deirbhile Ní Riain. Ahead of Katie Taylor's final bout in the ring in Croke Park, we look back on the epic journey of the trailblazing Bray boxer, who had to fight both in and out of the ring to gain recognition for her sport. We hear from another pro boxer, Christina Desmond, from former international amateur boxer Antoine Toto Ó Gríofa, from the commentator Cárthach Bán Breathnach, and from the athlete and PE instructor, Deirbhile Ní Riain.
