Episode 3010: Andy Lee In Studio, History Books Harrington, Downbeat Bronze, La Marchand, Cloudy Pool
Andy Lee drops into the studio to chat about Olympics past and present. Andy recalls his time at the Athens Olympics in 2004, a lonely experience for Ireland’s solo fighter at the dawn of the Irish High Performance era.
Andy and Eoin discuss Kellie’s progress so far, how the Irish fighters have been getting on in Paris and what to expect from the fights still to come.
