Episode 3183: Parker’s Punch, All-Irish World Title Eliminator, Murph’s Lions XV, We’re All Eire

Tue 25th Feb 2025
Eoin, Murph, Andy Lee, Branno, Simon

Former World Champ Joseph Parker was due to fight Daniel Dubois for the IBF World Heavyweight title on Saturday night, but on Thursday Dubois pulled out due to illness. Parker then agreed, at very short notice, to fight the feared 6 ft 6 inch, 300 lb giant, Martin Bakole. Parker and his trainer Andy Lee, adapted, and got a 2nd round KO. Andy joins us in studio today.

Andy has another busy week as he heads to Belfast where his fighter Paddy Donovan faces the biggest night of his career when he takes on Belfast born Lewis Crocker in an all-Irish world title eliminator. The build up to this one… has been tasty.

Murph takes on the almost impossible task of selecting a Lions XV to take on Joe Schmidt’s Australia in the 1st Test. His team contains jackal threats, maul swimmers, box kickers, bolters and of course, a few good “tourists”.

Plus there’s Aaron Aardvark, Usyk’s eyes, sin bin wins, and we’re all Eire.
