This week sees me and Matt welcome former IBF World Middleweight champion and good friend Darren Barker to the podcast for a long overdue Macklin's Take debut.

Matt and Darren, were the same weight and their careers ran in parallel lines really. They very nearly boxed at one point, posters were printed and it was all ready to go top of the bill on the much-vaunted Magnificent Seven card, but an injury to Darren prevented it. So we revisit the fight that never was and the two of them compare notes and stories not just from their fighting days but also from their new careers as media pundits.

If you enjoy the podcast then please do check out our YouTube channel where we bring you extra content consisting of excerpts from old episodes as well as weekly topical debate centred around what's happening in the world of boxing.
