Fight Disciples Podcast

Our new series concentrates on our favourites.  Not necessarily the best but the ones that have made that emotional connection with us the most. The first episode of the series is boxing welterweights. In the modern era that division is hot with talent and down the years, some of the biggest ever names haver competed at 147lbs.  Many historians will bring up names like Sugar Ray Robinson  but neit...

MMA epitomised in one fight.2 giant Heavyweights, knocking seven bells out of each other, and when it's all over, a phenomenal display of love and respect.  Alistair Overeem came out on top against Walt Harris but both men can walk away with a sense of pride from their fight.  We discuss the UFC's week in Jacksonville, Jon Jones maybe making that move to Heavyweight and what is next for Conor McGr...

We're living in a time where we need innovators.  People who can come up with solutions to a never ending list of problems.  The idea of Eddie Hearn staging fights on his back lawn is genius.

We knew it was going to be good! UFC 249 lived up tot he hype with a main event that delivered in buckets.  Justin Gaethje put on a masterclass to defeat Tony Ferguson whilst Henry Cejudo retired in the ring.  Big Francis didn't waste any time and Calvin Kattar unleashed a couple of hell-blows.

You can tell there's not much going on in the world of boxing when the biggest story of the week is of two former Heavyweight champions, now in their 50's, talking about coming out of retirement to fight again.

Boxing returned at the weekend with two cards in two locations. South Korea gave us an insight into what fights may look like closer to home in the not too distant future whilst Nicaragua continued to be oblivious to the world wide health scare we are all facing.

Tony Ferguson is a different breed. Putting himself through the weight cutting process for a fight that was cancelled shows the mentality of the man.

There's nothing else to talk about so thank the lord for Carl Froch. Last week, The Cobra, said he would come out of retirement for a fight with Joe Calzaghe.  Joe responded by saying he can't believe that he still lives in Carl's head.  We got stuck into the banter as well as discussing Devin Haney becoming the 2 time email champion of the world!

The full card for UFC249 has been announced. Tony Ferguson will now face Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight title and there will be a host of stellar fights.  In fact, its a phenomenal card, especially so under the circumstances, but its those circumstances that cause debate.  Should 249 be going ahead given the current climate? We discuss. FIGHT DISCIPLES IS A MULTI AWARD WINNING PODCASTW...

Social Media can be fantastic for a fighter to build their profile.  It's there to engage with fans, to build an audience which can be translated later into ticket sales.  It can also have the opposite effect. With Billy Joe Saunders having his BBBoC licence suspended following a recent social media post we ask should Billy come off social media all together as it does him more harm than good. We...
