Katie Taylor has spent 25 years making boxing history.  This weekend, she will also make a fortune.




The Bray boxer was just 15 when she won her first competitive fight. Now, after Olympic gold, world titles and a career that transformed women’s boxing, she is preparing for one final contest, in the one venue that has always eluded her: a sold-out Croke Park.




So, how big will Taylor’s final payday be? And as the curtain comes down, just how much is Ireland’s greatest boxer worth?




Today on The Indo Daily, Katie Bryne is joined by senior features writer John Meagher to count the cost of Katie Taylor’s extraordinary career and look ahead to her last dance on her biggest stage yet.

Inside Katie Taylor’s estimated $20m fortune, and the six figure deal she turned down

If you watched Louis Theroux’s documentary on the manosphere earlier this year, you should be familiar with a man by the name of Harrison Sullivan, or ‘HSTikkyTokky’ as he’s better known to his hundreds of thousands of online followers.  

Sullivan found himself in Dublin recently, hastily rescheduling a boxing event after his original choice of venue – the grounds of Dublin football club Bluebell United FC – abruptly cancelled the booking.  

Bluebell United has a long history, but recent events have placed it under a stark spotlight. In the past two years, the club has found itself linked to figures involved in drug dealing, debt judgements, an ownership switch and indeed – however briefly – the ever-controversial manosphere.  

 

On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Crime World journalists Alan Sherry and Neil Fetherstonhaugh to look at the curious case of Bluebell United.
