We look back on a mesmerising but surreal evening in Croke Park with Sinead O’Carroll and Malachy Clerkin. We discuss Katie’s insights on Katie, grabbing the mic, how boxing was always the easy bit, and if she is 100% definitely retiring.

Plus there’s Westlife, the Croker crowd, seeing both sides of boxing, walk-on music and doing it her way.
