Podcast: Kildare's forgotten champion boxer

Jack Dempsey, who became known in American boxing circles as 'The Nonpareil' because he was most of his career unbeatable, was born on 15 December 1862 in Athgarvan on the edge of The Curragh in Kildare. However, he is all but forgotten in his home county as one of the greatest boxers of his time. Produced by Brian Byrne.
