Jon Mackey: Leading the Performance Behind Irish Boxing | Between the Rounds

Jon Mackey took on the Performance Director role at Boxing Ireland twelve months ago. What he's built since is a programme with three World Championship medals and a clear road to LA 2028. We sit down inside the HP unit to talk about what he inherited, the philosophy behind the changes, why exposure to international competition matters more than any simulator, and his message to young fighters chasing LA 2028 — play the long game, take your time.

Han's Controversial Decision, Serrano's Record, Juarez's Masterclass | MVPW-03 Post-Fight Breakdown

Breaking down every title fight from MVPW-03 in El Paso. Han retains over Holm by majority decision in a fight the boxing world can't agree on. Serrano ties the all-time KO record in two rounds but says she's happy fighting mandatories in her final year. Juarez schools Valle with matador-level distance management and drops her in the tenth. Robinson shuts out Spencer while battling illness — 100-90 twice. Plus: Dubois calls out Han for undisputed, and who should Serrano fight next?

Serrano's One KO Away From History — Plus Han-Holm II, Juarez-Valle | MVPW-03 Preview

Four world title fights. All women. All on ESPN. All in three-minute rounds. MVPW-03 is live from El Paso County Coliseum on May 30 — and every champion on this card has something unfinished. Han vs Holm II: A WBA lightweight rematch that a headbutt interrupted in round seven. Serrano vs Hanson: Amanda Serrano chases the all-time KO record against Germany's Cheyenne Hanson. Juarez vs Valle: Two champions from two weight classes collide at junior flyweight. Robinson vs Spencer: Unified middleweight titles on the line in a crossroads fight. Between the Rounds previews every title fight — the tactics, the matchmaking, and the question nobody's asking yet: is this a platform or a moment?

From 5 Operations to World Title Contender | Shauna Browne | Between the Rounds

: Shauna Browne: The Comeback That Wasn't Supposed to Happen Description: Shauna Browne lost six and a half years to injuries and addiction. Five operations. Three arm surgeries. A surgeon who told her she'd never box again. She came back, got sober, won the Irish Elite National Championship, and turned pro at 30. She's sparred Katie Taylor for the last two Serrano fights and worked with Terri Harper ahead of the Dubois unification. At 7-1, she believes she's two fights from a world title. In this conversation, Shauna talks with Sarah Cunningham about Clonmel, the coach who shaped her, what sobriety gave her that boxing couldn't, the full context behind the Elif Nur Turhan loss that nobody understood at the time, what she sees inside world-level camps, the business reality of women's boxing, and why every fighter at 135 lbs should be worried. This episode is part of the Unfinished Business series — long-form conversations exploring performance, career, and the decisions that shape a fighter's path.

Inside Camp | The Matador - My Final Week in Team Ireland HP

My Final Week in Team Ireland HP — The Season Finale The Inside Camp season finale. My last week in the Boxing Ireland High Performance programme before heading back to New York. I came back from Poland with a list of things to sharpen. Then I rolled my ankle in the final session. We adapted. Tailored pads. Bag work. Stretched the rules a little. This was the first week the full squad was back together — Brazil, Poland, Ulster. Lighter sessions. And in the middle of it all, a moment with Michaela Walsh I won't forget. Ten weeks ago I walked into this programme. I'm leaving with more than I could have ever hoped for. Season One of Inside Camp closes here. But the next round is already calling.
