There are a whole buncha fights next weekend, and the ICBP is here to preview them all: Tszyu-Fundora, Cruz-Romero, the rest of that PBC undercard, Valdez-Wilson, Zurdo-Goulamirian, and more. Also, Eric and Kieran catch up on the last two weeks of fights (including Zepeda-Hughes) and news (including Wilder-Zhang), they play The Fight Game, and they shamelessly plug all their recent articles.

Fresh off a Friday spent repeatedly wasting excessive amounts of your precious time waiting for the next fight to start, it’s time to spend your Saturday wasting excessive amounts of your precious time in an altogether different way: listening to the Interim Champion Boxing Podcast!

On this week’s show, Eric and Kieran give their thoughts on Anthony Josh…

Bonus episode alert! The only woman to both box on HBO and star in a major HBO series, Kali Reis, joins us for a conversation covering everything from landing the role of Evangeline Navarro on True Detective: Night Country, to hanging with Jodie Foster, to why she’s not quite done with boxing yet.

We really think you’re going to dig this interview — unless you’re Cecilia Braekhus’ promoter Tom Loeffler, in which case … maybe not.

Eric wanted to record this episode of the podcast at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, whereas Kieran wanted to record it at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but in the end … they just recorded over Zoom from their respective homes that they hardly ever leave. Anyway, here it is, a Sunday edition of the ICBP featuring the following:

* Berlanga’s KO of McCrory and the possibility of Canelo-Berlanga

* Inoue and Nakatani scoring knockout wins atop the Tokyo title tripleheader

* The news surrounding Benavidez vs. Gvozdyk and Tank vs. Frank

* An early preview of Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou

* The Fight Game

* The Money Punch

* An update on our March podcasting plans

* A listener mailbag, covering such topics as boxers who went far above or far below our expectations, post-career CTE, the best division for a Super Six-style tournament, and the impact of legal boxing betting

The Interim Champion Boxing Podcast returns in its traditional Monday time slot, which may or not indicate that time is a flat circle — we’ll leave that to the listeners to decide. On this episode, Eric and Kieran recap wins for Sivenathi Nontshinga, O’Shaquie Foster, “Shu-Shu” Carrington, and “Ricky” Perez, discuss Canelo’s May 4 options and the sale o…

Ahead of Presidents’ Day weekend, the ICBP is rolling out, exclusively for subscribers, the 2017 oral history podcast looking back at the meteoric rise and devastating fall of Ike “The President” Ibeabuchi, the seeming heavyweight-champion-in-waiting who knocked out Chris Byrd in 1999 to run his record to 20-0 … and never fought again.

Interview subjects…

Clear your calendar, hold your calls, the Interim Champion Boxing Podcast is back with an overstuffed, super-sized Super Bowl weekend episode!

It’s another edition of the Interim Champion Boxing Podcast, the pod that always finds a way to ruin the party with an errant elbow to the face. On this Monday episode, Eric and Kieran grapple with the latest Fury-Usyk postponement, pour one out for the great Carl Weathers, recap wins for Conor Benn, Joshua Buatsi, and Angelo Leo, preview and wager on T…

Back with another mid-week episode to get you through your humpday, Eric and Kieran break down what they like and don’t like about Tszyu-Thurman and the rest of PBC’s first card of the Amazon Prime deal, analyze Jaime Munguia’s KO of John Ryder and whether they now welcome the Canelo-Munguia option, discuss the latest Ryan Garcia-Oscar De La Hoya drama, set a line for how long Shakur Stevenson’s “retirement” will last, preview a busy weekend of second-tier boxing, and share their opinions on the second and third episodes of True Detective: Night Country.

On this mid-week episode, Eric and Kieran give their postfight analyses of disputed decision wins for Natasha Jonas over Mikaela Mayer, Kenshiro Teraji over Carlos Canizales, and Seigo Akui over Artem Dalakian, preview (and consider placing bets on) Saturday’s Jaime Munguia vs. John Ryder matchup, play a round of The Fight Game, and weigh in on the Loma…
