BARRY JONES joins us this week as we digest the shock retirement of Kash Farooq. We hear from Farooq, and his manager Iain Wilson, as he prepares for life on the other side of the ropes.

Jones goes in-depth on the failed brain scan that interrupted his own boxing career and the misery triggered by retiring at just 26. He has plenty of advice for Kash and other fighters facing the end.

This Week In History focuses on Jones’ loss to Acelino Freitas and the Welshman has some terrific tales from behind the scenes and inside the ring.

This really is essential listening.
