This year started innocuously enough. But we had scarcely left January before we were dragged through St Brigid’s Day. After being deluged with the reported goodwill for Brigid, I thought it was only right to perform the due diligence on her record. It turns out that it was centuries later before someone claimed they had ever heard of such a person. I’ll spare you the long Wikipedia story but, suffice it to say, there is a major question mark over whether our dear Brigid existed at all.

Dan Hardy believes Francis Ngannou will defeat Anthony Joshua in their heavyweight showdown on the 8th of March. The MMA expert believes Ngannou's 'unquantifiable power' could surprise AJ during the fight, and also backs him mentally over the Brit. He has, however, raised concerns over Ngannou's fitness levels, which could work in Joshua's favour if the Cameroon fighter tires out during the fight.
