Katie Taylor reflects on 'devastating lows and amazing highs' in touching post
Katie Taylor has paid tribute to those in her inner circle who have stood by her side through the good times and the bad. Fresh off defeating Amanda Serrano for a third consecutive time, Taylor has been taking to social media to show respect to those closest to her. Last week, she posted a heartfelt message for her father, Pete, who returned to her corner for the Serrano trilogy fight after many years staying away from her boxing career. This week, the 'Bray bomber' took to Instagram to thank her friends, family and coaches for being by her side through 'devastating lows and amazing highs.' "You never win alone. Only by the grace of God. A collective effort from those who believed in me. Those who walked this journey with me, the devastating lows and amazing highs. Unending encouragement. Unconditional love. Family. Coach. Friends. My team," wrote Taylor on Instagram as a caption on a picture of herself with her loved ones. In the photo, which was taken backstage following her win over Serrano, members of Taylor's family - such as her mother Bridget - can be seen, while the likes of promoter Eddie Hearn, manager Brian Peeters and trainer Ross Enamait can also be seen. That win marked the end of her rivalry with Serrano, who she has fought three times since 2022. What comes next for Taylor is anybody's guess. It had been rumoured that the third Serrano bout would be her final ever contest, but weeks on from that win, Taylor has yet to make a definitive statement on her future. While her fighting career is shrouded in mystery, dad Pete shed light on her personal life as he confirmed that Katie was married after the undisputed super-lightweight champion was spotted wearing a wedding ring in the weeks leading up to the Serrano trilogy fight.

Sharlene Mawdsley and GAA star boyfriend take big step in relationship
Sharlene Mawdsley appears to be primed to take a huge step in her relationship with her boyfriend, Tipperary hurling hero Mikey Breen. Sharlene and Mikey went public with their relationship earlier this summer, with the Olympian spotted at Croke Park cheering defender Breen on during the Premier County's run to the Liam MacCarthy Cup. Taking to social media on Tuesday, Sharlene posted a cryptic message on her Instagram story that appears to suggest that herself and Breen are moving to a new home. Sharing a snap of two keys on a table in a living room on her Instagram story, Mawdsley tagged Breen while captioning the story 'End of the Thurles Era @mikeybreeno.' Mawdsley and Breen confirmed their relationship this summer, and the pair appeared on stage at Tipperary's Semple Stadium homecoming following Tipp's All-Ireland win over Cork. Sprinter Mawdsley was even spotted racing some Tipperary fans after a long night of celebrations following the win, and needless to say the Newport AC star cruised to victory. It has been a difficult year for Mawdsley since starring at the Paris Olympics with Team Ireland. The 27-year-old had to deal with an injury hit start to the year, while she also suffered in her personal life as her father, Thomas, passed away at the beginning of June. The relay specialist returned to the track later in the summer and recently picked up a National 200m title as she pipped Sarah Lavin and Lauren Roy in an epic race at Morton Stadium earlier this month.

Alan Shearer says Alexander Isak statement poured ‘flames on the fire'
Former Newcastle captain Alan Shearer believes wantaway striker Alexander Isak has poured 'flames on the fire' of his stand-off with the Magpies by accusing the club of breaking promises, and said his comments 'don't benefit anyone'. Isak has been trying to force a move out of Newcastle all summer but was frustrated earlier this month when the club rejected an offer from Liverpool, reportedly worth £110million plus add-ons. Having sat out their pre-season tour of Asia and trained alone since, missing Saturday's goalless draw at Aston Villa in Newcastle's Premier League opener, Isak escalated the situation further on Tuesday night with a post on Instagram in which he said 'the relationship can't continue'. Alexander Isak arrives at Newcastle's training centre on Wednesday (Owen Humphreys/PA) Speaking to Betfair, Shearer said the situation is now an 'absolute mess' as he pointed the finger at Isak's agent Vlado Lemic. 'If I was him, I'd get his agent in a room and sack him on the spot immediately, because he is meant to be giving him the advice to sign that six-year deal and there's no get out clause,' Shearer said. 'I mean, it's ridiculous. And to take anyone's word in football… it's nonsensical to say that someone said, 'Oh, I'll be able to get out at the end of the season'. Really? I mean, come on… 'I've always said there are two sides to every story, but my feelings are exactly the same: he's gone about it in the wrong way… 'I just think even releasing this statement last night has thrown flames onto the fire, which he didn't need to do. Newcastle United statement: Alexander Isak — Newcastle United (@NUFC) August 19, 2025 'I get that we needed to hear his side of the story and we've heard that now, and I'm not saying I don't believe him or I don't believe Newcastle, I'm just saying it's very, very messy for him and for the football club. It doesn't benefit anyone.' In his statement, posted on Instagram on Tuesday evening, Isak had said: 'The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To act now as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. 'When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue.' Newcastle responded by denying that Isak had been granted any assurances over a potential move. 'We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer,' a club statement said. Alexander Isak has been training separately to his Newcastle team-mates during his transfer saga (Owen Humphreys/PA) This is the latest episode in what has already been the primary saga of this transfer window. Liverpool had a bid rejected at the start of August but have retained an interest in a player who scored 27 goals in 42 games for Newcastle last season despite signing Hugo Ekitike – a forward who was also targeted by Newcastle. Newcastle are said to value Isak at £150million, and would only consider a sale if they have signed a replacement. As well as missing out on Ekitike, Newcastle were frustrated in their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko who chose to join Manchester United. Isak has three years remaining on his contract at St James' Park. Isak's representatives have been approached for comment.
