What next for Moses Itauma? After watching Filip Hrgovic shatter his world-title dream, Buncey is joined by Richie Woodhall to examine why Itauma came up short. We also hear from his promoter, Frank Warren, as they assess what the defeat means and where Itauma goes from here.

Will Moses Itauma make history and become the second-youngest heavyweight to win a world title? Buncey sits down with the 21-year-old to find out whether making history means anything to him.

Ade Oladipo, Emily Eubank, and Liam Gough are back with another hard-hitting, no-holds-barred episode of The Punch Perfect Podcast on BBC Sounds! After a quick heads-up to mind young ears for a few explicit slips, the crew jumps headfirst into 'The Clinch' to take on a legendary mythical matchup debate. Producer Jay delivers the envelope, setting off the three-minute timer as the hosts dissect a massive claim: "Muhammad Ali wouldn't be champion in the current heavyweight scene." How would 'The Greatest' fare against modern heavyweight giants, or is classic speed and ring IQ enough to rule any era? The team has just one round to trade arguments and deliver a final verdict. Then, it's time to head back to 'The Blueprint' to build out the next critical layer of their Frankenstein GOAT. With George Foreman lock-in for power, Chris Eubank Senior for heart and resilience, Muhammad Ali taking marketability, and Oleksandr Usyk locked in for technical skill, the hosts turn their attention to physical durability: THE CHIN. This segment is all about iron jaws, standing up to ultimate punishment, and refusal to hit the canvas. Ade, Emily, and Liam pitch three elite durable fighters each, battling through tense elimination rounds to agree on the single ultimate chin to add to their growing creation. Finally, the bell rings for 'The Final Round' as Ade steps up to fire off hot takes on the sport's structural flaws. The panel goes back and forth on whether boxing desperately needs a single governing body, if the Olympic style misleads pro prospects, and if inconsistent ring sizes amount to implicit cheating. Unfiltered, expert, and packed with fiery debate—this is essential listening for fight fans.
