Acclaimed author & journalist Don McRae joins Conor McKeon to discuss 'The Last Bell', his final boxing book of a 50-year career covering the sport. 

Don delves into his incomparable experiences with fighters from Mike Tyson to Katie Taylor and countless in between. He also frames his 'dysfunctional' relationship with a sport which has shown him the highest highs, but also the 'worst kind of darkness'.

Life, Death & Boxing | Don McRae on Tyson, Taylor & 50 years at the fights 🥊

Joe is joined by Ronan & Conan for this Friday installment of Bits & Bobs.
The lads discuss whether there’s a need for the nation to Czech expectations ahead of the big playoff game next week, the backstory behind predator boots, and the skill level required to play darts.
They also dive into Heimir Hallgrímsson contract extension, reach into the mailbag for some listener emails - and of course, talk through Derry’s Ulster championship draw.

From permutations, to post match comments and the value of ‘perfect piggery’ in the kickout - the panel discuss the lay of the land throughout the divisions heading into the final round of games.
