Katie Taylor has been praised for what fans have described as an "inspirational" interview.
The undisputed lightweight champion sat down with her brother Peter to discuss her faith, career and sacrifices.
She explained: "In my career, it doesn't just take courage on fight night, but it takes courage to show up day in and day out, to push my body to that point where it hurts.

"It takes courage to live out this dream. People see this dream as me dancing under the bright lights, hopefully with my hands being raised at the end of it, [but] this dream costs.
"I have to sacrifice an awful lot. I've had to sacrifice the ordinary pleasures of life all for the joy of something bigger.
"It's the same with our faith. It takes courage to live it out day by day. I think it's very tempting to choose what's easy and convenient, but it takes immense courage to suspend what is convenient and to choose what is meaningful."
A number of people took to social media to praise Taylor for the interview.
One person wrote: "Amazing and inspirational."
Someone else commented: "Wow, this is such an encouraging interview. I love and admire her faith!"
Another posted: "Great fighter and an even better human being."
"Really enjoyed that. Well done Péter & Katie," read another comment.
