    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.

    Inside Camp | The Trust Shift

    At some point, you have to stop digging and trust what's underneath". Eight weeks into the High Performance program, I’ve been selected to represent Team Ireland in the Felix Stamm Tournament in Poland. In this episode, I talk about the decision to evict the imposter and protect my energy. I break down high-intensity sparring sessions where I stopped surviving and started thinking—including a technical micro-adjustment that was eight weeks in the making. No more spiraling. The preparation is done. Now, we perform.

    Steven O'Rourke — Building Champions: Trust, Tactics & the Mental Game

    I sat down with my own club coach for the first time on Between the Rounds. Steven O'Rourke has coached fighters for over 30 years out of O'Rourke's Gym in Inchicore, Dublin. In this conversation he reveals how he reads a fighter's mental state before they know something's wrong, the coded combination system he uses mid-fight, why he builds trust before technique, and how he's kept the father-coach dynamic with his son Ryan healthy when so many others fall apart. Whether you're a boxer, a coach, or someone interested in performance under pressure.  this is the side of the sport you never see. In this episode: inside O'Rourke's Gym, building mental strength, coaching Ryan from six months old, when the father-coach line gets dangerous, what Steven saw in me as a fighter, who earns his coaching, "it's all in your head," task-based sparring, opponent study and game plans, code names for combinations, corner style between rounds, when a fighter stops listening, coaching women, and the future of the O'Rourke legacy. Host: Sarah Cunningham | Guest: Steven O'Rourke Between the Rounds explores the strategy, preparation, and decisions that shape performance — in sport, business, and careers.

    Inside Camp | Against The Clock

    The clock isn't something I can negotiate with. So the question becomes — what can I build with the time I have? Not what's missing. What's possible. Seven weeks into Boxing Ireland's HP camp. Decision-making is sharper. Pattern recognition is building. But experience can't be compressed into a single camp cycle. Inside Camp is a weekly series documenting the real work behind international competition with Boxing Ireland's High Performance squad. I'm Sarah Cunningham — elite amateur boxer competing for Team Ireland. #BetweenTheRounds
