Grainne Walsh reveals she first dreamed of playing football, not boxing.
Olympic Boxer Grainne Walsh has revealed her dream growing up was to be a professional footballer.
The 30 year old, who competed at the 2024 Olympics, originally had intentions of playing for Arsenal as well as the Irish National team.
The Offaly woman has since shined in her boxing career, as she recently secured a bronze medal at the 2025 World Boxing Championships
She says meeting Katie Taylor was the big turning point for her:
