Football
Women’s football has experienced an undeniable surge in recent years. The Women’s Super League in England, since becoming a wholly professional league in 2018, is arguably the leading domestic competition for women’s football clubs globally. The latest season, 2024-25, commences this week. Last season witnessed Chelsea clinch their fifth straight title, nudging past Manchester City merely by goal difference. It’s expected that a host of Irish international stars will feature, inclusive of Katie McCabe (Arsenal), Courtney Brosnan (Everton) and Izzy Atkinson (who has joined newly-promoted club Crystal Palace). Event Dates: 20th Sep 2024 to 11th May 2025 – On BBC, Sky Sports & YouTube
Boxing
On the upcoming Saturday, the showdown between Englishmen Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois is bound to attract a substantial, possibly record-breaking, audience at Wembley Stadium. Joshua aspires to become a three-time world heavyweight champion as he takes on Dubois, the current IBF holder. Dubois claimed the interim title by defeating Filip Hrgovic in June and subsequently elevated to official champion following Oleksandr Usyk’s relinquishing of the regular belt. Joshua, having recovered from his back-to-back losses to Usyk, triumphed in four consecutive bouts, even conquering former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, in March. Event Date: Saturday – On Sky Box Office.
