A bit of a different pod this week. Aiden is away on a work assignment while I (Dean) am stuck at home with the flu so we broke the show up into two different segments.

Aiden runs down all this weekends big fights which saw Josh Taylor breakout as a major boxing star while I quickly run through some news from the world of boxing and well, um, wrestling?
