Pound for Pound

Iiiiiittttt's FIGHT WEEK!
With the huge heavyweight PPV this weekend, the guys preview the intriguing main event between Oleksandr Usyk and Dereck Chisora. Will Usyk cement his position in the heavyweight division? Can Dereck land early? Who will benefit from no crowd? This fight has many questions and we've debated all of the answers! Additionally, we welcome back on the show Billy Joe Saunders after the announcement of his upcoming world title defence against Martin Murray on 4th December. We chat to Billy about how his preparation has been, why he has changed trainers again, how he coped with having COVID-19 and will we ever see him in a ring against Canelo. This really could be... THE... BEST... ONE... YET.

This week we had a huge interview lined up with former Welterweight world champ and friend of the show Mr. Kell Brook after his super fight with Terence Crawford was confirmed. Unfortunately Kell couldn't make the show, however as Benjamin Franklin said " Out of adversity comes opportunity" and that opportunity was doing a show with just Jake & Spencer for the first time in ages and this could really be THE BEST ONE YET.... no, really, we think it really could be! We chat through all of the hot topics from the world of boxing; Terry O'Conner phone-gate, Terry O'Connor scorecard-gate, Loma vs Lopez, The Ring's Pound for Pound top 10 list. We've gone through everything. We might have to not have a guest more often!

After a huge break in the boxing schedule we now have some super fights on our hands... Dubois vs Joyce, Chisora vs Usyk, Whyte vs Povetkin 2. However, one of the biggest fights that has got us excited is the recently confirmed Ryan Garcia vs Luke Campbell on the 5th December. Ahead of that fight we were joined by Luke on this week's show. Having last boxed against arguably the current pound for pound number 1 Vasyl Lomachenko last year, we hear his thoughts on the upcoming Garcia fight; have Garcia's team overlooked Luke? Is the fight behind closed doors? What does a win do for him in his bid to finally in a world title? We put everything to Luke in a truly fascinating interview which is getting us pumped for the 5th December! This could be THE BEST ONE YET!

This week Jake & Spencer break down last Saturdays Matchroom show featuring Joshua Buatsi and interview legendary boxing trainer Don Charles. We think you’ll agree that Dons story and journey into boxing is truly amazing. In fact we’d even go as far to say that this episode could be THE BEST ONE YET!!

This week we are joined on location at the beautiful Shire Golf Club by one of boxing’s most knowledgeable and likeable guys, Sky's Adam Smith. What he doesn’t know about boxing is not worth knowing. We ask him about the current state of the sport, the Canelo v DZN situation, whether we are any closer to dates for Usyk v Chisora and Fury v Wilder 3 and who his favourite hot prospects are in world boxing. A relaxed and informed chat amongst friends, this could be THE BEST ONE YET!!!

LIONS IN THE CAMP!


On the show this week we have one of the hottest prospects not just in the UK but in world boxing. One of the main jewels in the Frank Warren & BT Sport crown and the man who nearly dethroned the great Sergey Kovalev in his own back yard in Russia, Mr. Anthony Yarde. We caught up with Anthony after his great win over Dec Spelman on the weekend in a behind closed doors show at York Hall and see how he felt fighting without the adrenaline from a crowd and hear what his plans are for the remaining part of 2020. We also have to ask him about THAT motto. This is Anthony like you've never heard him before and this could be THE BEST ONE YET.

On this week’s show we were joined by one of the most notable names of British boxing, Kellie Maloney. Kellie was Lennox Lewis’ manager for years and guided him to being undisputed heavyweight world champion. There’s not many people out there that have as much of an interesting history as Kellie, from the highs of big time boxing to her famous gender reassignment announcement in 2014. We caught up with Kellie to discuss the latest news in her life and if there’s a chance she will be returning to the sport that made her a household name.

We're joined on this week's show by one of the true legends of the sport. Kathy Duva is one of the most prolific boxing promoters over the past 20+ years and has had a hand in promoting boxers such Lennox Lewis, Pernell Whittaker, Mark Breland, Arturo Gatti, Serguy Kovalev and many many more at her promotional company, Main Events. She has some of the best stories around but also we hear her first hand account of being a female executive in a male dominated industry, and also what it's like for a boxing promoter during a global pandemic. Her story is one of the most fascinating and interesting we've had on the show and this episode could be THE BEST ONE YET (no really, we think it actually is this time).

WE'RE BACK!
There's no better time for Jake and Spencer to be jumping back on the mics after last weekends unexpected and quality knockout by Alexander Povetkin. The guys breakdown the incredible pay per view fight plus all the others from that card, especially Katie Taylor's win as our special guest this week is her opponent, Delfine Persoon, who has twice taken Katie to the final bell with many people thinking that Delfine should have two more wins in the record books. Spencer also gives us all of the insights and stories of what it was like to stay in the Fight Camp bubble, whilst we also look ahead and ask what is next for UK boxing! This really could be THE BEST ONE YET!

IT’S FIGHT (CAMP) WEEK!
After BT Sport Boxing came back with 2 great shows in their studios, we now have Sky Sports Boxing back with a bang... from Eddie’s garden. All of the Matchroom content has got us excited for the first weekend of Matchroom Fight Camp so who better to have on the show than the man in the main event, Ted Cheeseman. We get all the lowdown from Ted on what it’s like be inside “the bubble”, about beating his gambling addiction and his thoughts in the lead up to going toe-to-toe against Sam Eggington. Before Ted we were joined by Darren Barker live from the Matchroom Locked down hotel to give us the inside track on the fighters and the fights this Saturday.
Boxing is truly back and this could be THE BEST ONE YET.
