Westport woman Nell McLaughlin of Eagle Boxing Club features in the UL UnLeash Your Best video
Blockbuster Mayo boxer Nell McLaughlin is well used to strutting her stuff on the canvas.

However, in 2025, the student at University of Limerick briefly swapped the bright lights of the boxing arenas for those of the film set, as she made a silver screen appearance.
McLaughlin, along with six other athletes from across the sporting sphere, featured in the 'UnLeash Your Best' video from UL, showcasing the challenge of balancing the books and the boxing gloves at the college's bustling sports campus.
"The six scholars featured in the video represent the breadth and depth of UL’s sporting community, each bringing extraordinary talent, dedication, and character," a statement from the University said.
