Pound for Pound

We're joined by Matchroom Boxing CEO Frank Smith on this week's episode to discuss all of the latest goings on from Matchroom HQ. Frank gave us an insight on how hard it is for promotions at the moment to plan events in the current climate, to the potential venues of the upcoming shows and he also spoke to us about the potential huge fights that could happen this year, including Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua & Amir Khan vs Kell Brook (finally!). Frank was very open about Matchroom's plans and this episode really is one not to miss, in fact it could be THE BEST ONE YET!

On this week’s show we’re joined by a man who was born with funny bones, the one & only comedy legend, Brendan O’Carroll. Most people will know Brendan from creating & starring in the smash hit comedy series, Mrs. Brown’s Boys. However, most people might not know that Brendan is a huge boxing fan, and even made a boxing film and also offered to fight a certain oscar winner for the main role in a different film! We talk to Brendan about his amazing career which included many setbacks but also many successes. This episode contains some great laughs but also some amazing stories and advice, this really could be THE BEST ONE YET!

On this week's show we're joined by one of our favourite ex fighters and also one of our favourite commentators, Matt Macklin, who makes his Pound for Pound debut! We chat with Matt about his amazing boxing career where he fought some of the best middleweights of his era such as Gennady Golovkin & Sergio Martinez, and coming into touching distance of a world title, to transitioning to behind the mic for Sky Sports Boxing. The chat with Matt flew by and if you're missing boxing at the moment, this episode will fill that void. This really could be the best interview yet!

WE'RE BACK!
The first episode of 2021 and we're back with a bang. On this week's show we look back at the huge fights that happened over the past few weeks; AJ vs Pulev, Canelo vs Smith, Garcia vs Campbell and also look forward to what should still be a huge year for boxing. If you're climbing the walls in lockdown and missing your boxing, then this episode will be what you need and we can safely say... THIS IS THE BEST ONE YET (so far this year).

What a night it was on Saturday. Two of Britain’s biggest heavyweight prospects put it all on the line early in their careers and showed the guts that not many greats of the sport have done! Joyce vs Dubois was tense, exciting and controversial! So we thought what better guest to have on then Mr. boxing himself, the promoter of both guys, Frank Warren. We spoke with Frank about the whole fallout of the fight and what’s next for both guys. Oh, and of course we didn’t forget about the legends fight of Mike Tyson vs roy Jones Jr. What a show this is! We’ve cracked it, it really is THE BEST ONE YET.
