Beyond Boxing

Make sure you listen to EP258 first. There is only so much money you can throw at boxing before you get diminishing returns. At the moment, it looks like boxers are just boxing to get paid, and have no desire to entertain the fans. The contrast between Eubank-Benn and the boxing in New York, Vegas and Saudi Arabia couldn't be more obvious. I think we will see the Saudi's focus on the fighters that...

Eubank-Benn gave boxing one of its truly great moment. But, as is the case with boxing, we end up with drive-thru boxing at Times Square. It feels like Turki Alalshaikh is realising how challenging boxing can be at times. It is a lesson, we cannot always chase our wins in boxing. We have to let the sport ebb and flow naturally, without too much interruption.

There’s nothing a son treasures more than the bond with his father, the love, the validation, and that bond can drive a man to extraordinary heights. On Saturday night, we witnessed Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn do exactly that. Driven not just by their own ambitions, but by the legacy of their fathers, and by the love and validation of the British public, they gave us one of the great nights in...

Sunday night was a defining moment for Ben Whittaker, his career was on the line, and he delivered. In what was his first big test under real pressure, he showed composure, skill, and raw emotion. The post-fight antics? That’s just the relief and passion boiling over. Cut the kid some slack, he’s a huge talent, and this is only the beginning. Let’s break it all down.

Chris Eubank Sr has been vocal about his concerns regarding his son Chris Eubank Jr's upcoming fight with Conor Benn. He is worried about the weight disparity between the fighters, calling the fight a "disgrace" and a "farce." Eubank Sr emphasised the risks involved, particularly with Eubank Jr having to drop weight and Benn moving up two weight classes, which he believes could endanger both fight...

Carl Froch started off as the hardcores’ spokesman, but he has slowly turned into another tool of the machine. Maybe it’s hard to leave the limelight after being such a great fighter, but surely integrity has to mean something The Conor Benn interview did everything it wasn’t meant to do but gave fans nothing of what they need. In doing that, they have shredded the. Skye and credibility of the Fro...

The partnership between Queensberry Promotions and DAZN has been met with enthusiasm from boxing fans and industry insiders. Frank Warren, the head of Queensberry, expressed excitement about the collaboration, highlighting DAZN’s commitment to boxing and its ability to provide a one-stop platform for fans. The deal ensures that Queensberry’s fighters, including Tyson Fury, Moses Itauma, and Fabio...

We are seeing the early signs of a boxing recession. The money coming into the sport is falling and the sources of those funds are reducing. For too long, people took from boxing without putting in, and now people are seeing the result of that, with the talent pipeline looking weaker every year. maybe this is what boxing needs.

The Saudi-backed boxing league faces an uphill battle to succeed. What can Dana White do that Al Haymon, with a stable of generational talents, plus $500m in capital do? It feels like Turlki Alalshaikh is now serious about making a profit from boxing, so expect purses to fall but activity levels are about to rise.

BEYOND BOXING EP250 - DIMITRY BETTERS ARTUR by Highfield Boxing

Boxing such a cruel sport. Due to the nature of the sport it’s very important to get your first step perfect. Too many times we see boxers get their start in the game completely wrong and they never get that moment back, and they never get the momentum back, which means they never fulfil their potential. If you are a boxer, be very careful about making that first move because you never get a secon...

We have a rematch that might be the end of one elite career. Both Beterbiev and Bivol had to dig deep into their reserves of courage and heart to survive. Have they got enough left to go again? This Saturday we will find out.

Derek Chisora is proof that Boxing is really about hard men. Hard durable men last the longest in the world of Boxing and it’s good to see him have this Indian summer to his career.

Who is Conor Benn really and does he even know? Sometimes it is easier not to pretend and I’m trying to be Nigel Benn II, maybe Conor is hurting his career. April 26th will tell us a lot more.

Does boxing really need its own Oscars night? Have they really given the fans all they want? or, is this another chance for more back-slapping? these sort of events are great for the camera and microphone jockeys and not that great for the fans. But...when you are a promoter with your own show on the same night, where should you be?

IF WE CAN DO 300 TICKETS WE'LL DO A LIVE SHOW I promise, there is really good boxing content in this episode, when you get to it. It was good to finally get back with the guys and record. We give our take on the last year in boxing, and in life, picking up on the bigger themes that are shaping boxing as a sport. There's more we could have covered, but there are only so many hours in the day. Enjoy...

There are three things that make a boxer elite: The ability to control any opponent and take away their strengths The ability to impose your will on your opponent and The focus required to do those two consistently for 12 rounds. On Saturday night, one man did it, and rightly won, and the other just couldn't. These fights are always about the finest f margins and Usyk had all of those.

A short discussion on what both Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have to do to win on Saturday night. Honest views from a podcast that cares.

The more I've read and listened to info on the Conor Benn saga the more I think this is a cover up about the failings at UKAD. Nobody has challenged the validity of the VADA tests and now that the process is over, Conor Benn is unwilling to talk on the subject. It feels like UKAD need him to be silent, more than he needs to share his side of the story. There are huge issues here that need clarifyi...

If we didn't have Frank Warren domestic boxing in the UK would be fried. How did it get so bad? As fans we either get historic fight cards, or really bad fight cards, with no in-between. What we saw this weekend was a dark omen for what is to come if we don't start addressing things now.

Galal Yafai shocked British boxing with a one-sided demolition of Sunny Edwards. The odd thing about the fight was how easy it was. At that level no boxer should be able to tee off with bagwork combinations. it was like watching somebody doing padwork on another human body. Hopefully, this is the springboard to success for Galal Yafai.

It's a worrying time when you see Eddie Hearn using the tactics he used to laugh at other promoters for using. But it goes to show how far the pendulum has swung away from Matchroom in the last 3 years. Also....NOBODY ASKED FOR CHISORA V WALLIN!!!!

For anyone that can help Christian Allcorn, you can contact him on Twitter - @ChristianAllco1 Or Linkedin -https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-allcorn-87057023/ Many will be disappointed with this fight, but I am proud of Mike Tyson. It takes real heart to wake up at 58 years old, as a millionaire, and find it in you to train for a fight. He may never be what he was, but that warrior spirit neve...

6 1/2 years after Eddie Hearn, proclaimed DAZN was the home of Boxing. Frank Warren has made the zone, the whole of Boxing 6 1/2 years of tools and insults a decade of his integrity being questioned BoxNation being questioned, and now Frank Warren seems to be the senior partner in the Suzanne situation and look this has been for years in the making maybe a bit longer and you have to respect Frank...
