"Eight years from now, when the World Cup is 128 teams, we'll be hearing reports of how a former American nuclear testing site in the Pacific has qualified for their first ever World Cup at the expense of an oil rig in the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile, Ireland face a tense play-off against the Swiss, with Poland awaiting the winner in the next round..." rte.ie/sport/soccer/2…

@joescott6969 Thought that was that with Gill as well. But he sounds and looks refreshed with new team. Last-chance saloon and all of that. I quite like the look of him with a slightly lower output, more precision in his work, tonight might tell us a lot

@KevByrneBox Put on the best performance of his career against wood. Maybe his success early contributed to him gassing late on. Fine margins. After the Gill fight I thought was enough. Tonight will be interesting.

Mick Conlan admits that the stalling of Casement Park's redevelopment leaves him without a stadium fight to aim for. But should a world title fight come up at Croke Park this year? He'd bite yer hand off thesun.ie/sport/16698241…

@Eirethefury Boxing world in total flux at the minute, wouldn't be at all shocked to see them working something out, that show will need massive heft, though I suspect they'll have other ways of getting the punters in too if it comes off

@KevByrneBox Im Sure he would Kevin. if croke park happens For K.T it will be incredible spectacle. Its tough ask for Mick to win world title for multitude of reasons. an TBF I wasn't overly optimistic But last performance was encouraging Looked Laser focused. an very switched on defensively

@joescott6969 90sec or so away from becoming a world champion against Wood, fine old margins at the elite level. Tough road back but he knows it. As always with Conlan, will be compelling

@KevByrneBox There is more chance that casement will be built this year than Conlan ever winning a world title. Sad but true. Tried to be great but came up short when it was his time. Now he has taken far too much damage. Boxing is an unforgiving sport.

Why Mick Conlan believes the guidance of Grant Smith, and the example set by his WBC champion son Dalton, can guide him towards a third world title tilt, and an ultimate victory to crown his professional career thesun.ie/sport/16698241…

The crazy story of Brockton's 'King' Kevin Walsh, who made mitts out of bedsheets & bibles while behind bars as he kicked off his boxing career, and joked he might get 'assassinated' if he shocks Mick Conlan in Belfast tonight thesun.ie/sport/16697782…

Bit of a personal piece on protecting memories with those we’ve lost, the feeling of validation when your dad is into something that you’ve passed upwards to him, and a Saturday spent covering rugby and boxing which reminded me, eh, why we do any of this the42.ie/super-saturday…
