To Paris with Glove - Daina Moorehouse and Grainne Walsh

From July 27 to August 10, we'll be all about Olympic boxing once again. Ireland will send a 10-strong team to Paris 2024 with every boxer there dreaming of a place on top of the podium to follow in the footsteps of Michael Carruth, Katie Taylor and Kellie Harrington.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with two boxers who qualified at the final tournament in Bangkok - Grainne Walsh and Daina Moorehouse. They've had contrasting journeys to get to this point. Walsh's story is the epitome of The Rocky Road. Said to be one punch from retirement at one point, she's been through four thumb operations and several other dunts to get to this stage where she's got to be a live contender for the podium in Paris. As for Moorehouse, hoping to become Wicklow's latest gold medallist, she's been chasing these Games down with a sense of destiny behind her.
