S4 Ep10: Competing on Boxing's Biggest Stage with Jack Marley & Michael Carruth

In the season finale of Under Construction with Chadwicks host Donncha O’Callaghan chats to Irish heavyweight boxer and Chadwicks brand ambassador Jack Marley as well as the first ever Irish boxer to win Olympic gold, Michael Carruth. The episode launches as Jack completes his final preparations to compete on boxing's biggest stage and fight at the Paris 2024 Olympics, which begins later this month.  Jack, who began boxing at Monkstown boxing club aged 8 and is now 21, qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympics early, and has been preparing to fight at the games by completing three training sessions a day, five days a week at the Sport Ireland High Performance Unit for months.  Michael, who during the episode reflects on his own experiences competing at the Seoul 1988 Olympics and at the Barcelona 1992 Olympics, where he won gold aged 25, was described by Donncha as a ‘trend setter for boxing success in Ireland’. Michael’s advice for Jack ahead of Paris is to ‘focus on nothing but the matches’, and ‘believe that he can win’, as every boxer needs to.
