Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Ring Magazine's Declan Taylor.

Dec tells us about his journey from university to being one of the most renowned boxing journalists on the globe.

We ask Dec about the skills of asking effective questions to how he's dealth with awkward and unengaging boxers.

We go on to ask Dec about what's happening with the George Groves Boxing Club Podcast as well as his fondest memories and experiences in the hot seat with some of the world's greatest boxing characters.

Warning, there is some fruity language as well as the mention of Swindon Town FC. We apologise more for the latter.
