Boxing is a mad game. In football, most managers have played professionally before going into management.
In boxing, any Tom, Dick or Harry who can hold pads, without ever having boxed competitively, can end up training the equivalent of a Premier League team.
Inconceivable 🤣
Hurling in the 90’s was unrivalled. A reneissance for some teams. 30 years ago today.. the “Storey” goes on.
Great afternoon spent with old friends and team mates as we wish Zaur well. One of Irelands greatest imports who transformed boxing here since his arrival in 2003. He now heads Stateside to team up with Billy Walsh and TeamUSA in preparation for L.A 2028.
Very sad news. Was part of Team Ireland with Ciarán at London. A really nice fella. Thoughts are with his family.

Well done Derek Kent. A very proud day for his family and club. Only the 3rd Wexford man in the GAA’s 142 yr history to be elected to the role. The previous, Michael Kehoe (1949-52) who played a role in the Easter Rising and Irish language movement on this island.
BREAKING NEWS: Derek Kent was elected Uachtarán Tofa of the #GAA at Annual Congress this evening.
The @OfficialWexGAA native will become the 42nd President of the Association at next year’s Annual Congress. #GAABelong
Happy retirement Zaur Antia. One of our greatest ever imports, sporting or otherwise. His medal haul here over the last 22 years is unrivalled. 🥊
I don’t think there’s a more rotten sport at times. Dress it up whatever way you like, Paddy Donovan won that fight. #DonovanVCrocker. 🥊
What a fighter. A combined amateur/pro record of 414 wins & 4 defeats. He bet me around the gym floor in Kiev in March 2012. Fond memories 🥊 🤕
Mcllroy becomes the 1st “bottler” to win 5 majors & a career Grand Slam. You couldn’t be anything but happy for him. #AugustaNational ⛳️
A great article. Nice to hear a two time Olympic champ emphasising how important it is for kids to taste defeat. You’ve no choice as an 11 yr boxer but experience what it’s like to lose.
The Kellie Harrington interview: ‘I’ve heard everybody gets a medal on school sports day, but kids need to learn how to lose’ buff.ly/AURw97t
What a scrap. Andy Lee, a class act. No doubt he’s seething on the inside but showing to be a very calm voice to a distraught Donovan. He’ll be as successful in the corner as he was in the ring. #CrockerVDonovan
RIP to a generational actor. One would say he was robbed of his 3rd Oscar for Mississippi Burning. Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man) the only man that stood in his way in ‘89.
Always the risk when a fighter enters the squared circle. As they say, you don’t play boxing. Please God John will pull through 🥊🙏🏻

A massive turnout this morning at @DublinAirport welcoming the sister and all the Irish troops home from the Lebanon. Grateful to have them back safe and sound. 🇮🇪 🇱🇧
Irish troops serving in Lebanon have arrived back in Ireland following a six month deployment with the United Nations Interim Force Lebanon rte.ie/news/ireland/2024/112…
Not a nice time to have a family member in the Middle East. Having said that, very proud of the sister and all of the Irish troops serving our country who are caught up in the ongoing war. The 25th of November can’t come quick enough.
What a day. Back then, you’d be up in the hurling field as a chap pucking around waiting for Storey & Dunne to say hello to you as they ran out for training. 🔴⚫️
Thirty years ago Oulart-The Ballagh won their first @PettittsSuperV Senior Hurling Championship, they beat St Martins on a scoreline of 1-14 to 0-16 on the day. Martin Storey and Liam Dunne share their memories from that time. County Final highlights youtube.com/watch?v=wW9KzCxp…
