The cobwebs are off, the dust has cleared and the TUSC is back for The Ghost world title fight week and who better to break it all down with than the all-time clubhouse TUSC pod guest leader, making his 25th appearance, the Aussie Boxing Scribe, Anthony Cocks.

Cocksy and I get right in to Sam Goodman’s huge world title challenge against Nick Ball, a mini Knuckle Down if you will, how does Sam hang at 126? Is Sam the guy to upset Ball? How will the styles mesh? Who wins and how? We get to it all!

We also chat the rest of the Itauma V Whyte card, news with Andrew Moloney, turn the clock back on some recent performances from Tim Tszyu, Liam Paro, Liam Wilson, Floyd Masson and Callum Peters. We then look ahead to the August 20th No Limit PPV, Canelo V Crawford, Inoue V Akhmadaliev, Anthony’s exciting project reveal and much, much more!

It's been almost 6 years between drinks, but making his long-awaited TUSC Pod return is former national amateur champion, pro boxer, historian, author (he wrote an actual real book!), current amateur and pro trainer and current NSW boxing referee and judge, it’s mate of the show Paul Cupitt!

Paul and I jump straight in to the busy March domestic schedule review style, which as we all know now featured some good and some……. less than good.

Paul fills me in on what the catalyst was that pushed him in to officiating, whether or not he learnt anything in the officiating process that he didn’t already know from a lifetime in the sport, what the point of his career was that he knew he was going to go all-in on boxing and make this his life, if he has any plans for another book or more writing and I ask Paul to give us his ideal 5 year plan, what he wants under his belt by 2030 and where he wants to be in 2030.

AND of course, I couldn’t let Paul go without picking his brain on some of the massive fights coming up throughout April including Dana Coolwell in the US, Tszyu V Spencer full card, PLUS much, much more!

Back again to most likely finish off the year (more on that in the outro) is the Aussie Boxing Scribe and all-time clubhouse leader in appearances, Anthony Cocks!

Tony and I dive in to all the fights from the past month head first, we touch on some recent Aussie boxing news, maybe offend a company or two and of course we preview the surprisingly busy last month of the year. Paro, Goodman, Opetaia, PBS, Callum Peters and the rest, what a way to cap off 2024, also much more too, as always.

The dust has settled, the emotions have subsided so now it's time to rip off the band-aid and get in to all the fallout from Tim Tszyu's shock KO defeat to Bahkram Murtazaliev in Florida this past weekend and there isn't a better person on the planet to do that with than the Aussie Boxing Scribe himself, Anthony Cocks for a fitting return episode 69 on TUSC.

Cocksy and I vent and try and make sense of what we witnessed (even if I am struggling to still believe it happened the way it did) and tackle the upset result from every way we know how. We also talk Mateo Tapia's excellent effort in a Draw with Endry Saavedra, some recent Australian results, look ahead through the next few weeks boxing schedule, shoot off on a couple of tangents and finish with our early thoughts on some big fights for a few Aussies in December.

Everyone in boxing podcasting is talking Heavyweight during this undisputed title fight week, but not us, it's Cruiserweight fight week on the TUSC Pod and we're going full Knuckle Down on the eagerly anticipated rematch when Jai Opetaia once again takes on Maris Briedis for the title Jai took off him last time (and never lost) plus The Ring Magazine Belt. So as I am for every Knuckle Down, I'm joined by one of the best boxing writers on the planet, the Aussie Boxing Scribe, Anthony Cocks.

We dive in to this rematch from every concievable angle we could think of, thoughts on the first fight, adjustments, style clash for Round 13, '24 version of each fighter and predictions!

We also recap some recent results since the last pod including Valdez/Wilson, Lara/Zerafa, Tszyu/Fundora, The Gathering, PBS on 7+ launch, Haney/Garcia, Inoue/Nery, Moloney/Takei, Lomachenko/Kambosos, Moloney/Guevara and much, much more!
