This episode gives the audience their voice. I am truly your servant in this episode.

Some great questions that forced me to think hard, but i enjoyed it.

please let me know what you think.

The biggest fight since...the last biggest fight, and ahead of...the next biggest fight is nearly upon us.

Can Joshua do anything different this time, or will the old demons return to haunt him?

The worst kept secret is out.

Conor Benn will fight Chris Eubank Jr. on October the 8th at the O2.

Yes, it feels like a money grab, but as fans this is a fight we'd have paid for, whenever it happened.

All we can do now is get behind it and make it a legendary occasion.

Not a bad Matchroom show on Saturday.

Hopefully they will accelerate Dalton Smith's progress because he has the foundations to be a world champion.

Can we also stop with the Matchroom gimmicks? Chinese food, Five Guys and all the other rubbish.

Saturday night was probably the best Sky show in terms of setting expectations. Everything seemed to go right for them and let us hope this is the start and the foundation now.

Isaac Chamberlain gave us fight of the year and the real shame is that there had to be a loser. In reality both fighters were elevated by this fight and the future is bright for both.

Probably some roster changes needed to sustain consistent entertainment. However, one name they got right was Ben Whittaker. To some, it's a no-brainer, but others will still need convincing.

The young man can do things that beggar belief and we should get behind him.

One of the more fascinating people to have laced up a pair of gloves.

In some ways, Umar Sadiq never needed boxing - qualified accountant, multiple interests etc - but it drew him in and gave him the platform to successfully tackle life.

We join him as he embarks on that next chapter and seeks to apply the lessons learned in the ring to the stage and screen.

Some additional ideas to build on Ep:102

Topics covered:

Failures of S&C

A weak gym culture

Why a lot of boxers do not fulfill their potential

How I approach all of this

British boxing is in crisis. At the heart of it is a simple truth. 90% of the boxers and coaches are not at the standard that we need to deliver world champions that can hold on tom their belts for years against the best.

For too long, boxing allowed anyone to be a trainer. If you had enough money to own a gym, you were a trainer. It meant that you had a lot of bluffers and fakers in the sport. That has led to our guys being too soft, too unskilled, and too comfortable with mediocrity.

Until the fans call out the failures and blaggers in the sport, they will continue to make it up as they go along, leaving the fans with nostalgia fights to get excited about.

A year after the split between Matchroom and Sky, where are we now?

It’s so hard to remember who to thank. Here, I tried my best. It isn’t perfect, but it captures the sentiment.

Mad to think that this podcast is still relevant after all these years.

I couldn’t record this without a purpose and that purpose is to give the boxing fans moments. Those points in time, they will always remember because they stopped them dead in their tracks.

As long as I feel I can still do those, I will carry on. But…that takes time and you have to let me help create those moments.
