S1 Ep 138Macklin's Take #138 with Dan Azeez
This week on Macklin's Take me and Matt welcomed new British Light Heavyweight champion Dan Azeez to the podcast.Dan turned in a dazzling display a couple of weeks back to claim the Lonsdale belt and having already won the Southern Area and English titles has done it the traditional way.He's an old school fighter who, like his hero Marvelous Marvin Hagler, just wants to give the public the fights they want to see and mix it with any and all of the other British 175lb fighters.We love his attitude and it was a pleasure to have him on.

S1 Ep 137Macklin's Take #137 with Jon Pegg
It's the Return of the King :)Our Franchise champion, the one and only Jon Pegg, had a brief sojourn in hospital recently so we thought the perfect tonic for him would be another appearance on MT.And he was on fine form as usual.We got into a number of subjects, including what it's like running small hall shows post Covid, something Jon's doing with great success, and why it is that although everyone seems to love the Rocky films, they seem to be less keen on real life Rockys.As usual with the Peggmeister, it got deep.

Macklin's Take #136 with Joe Gallagher
This week me and Matt welcome back to the pod our good friend; top trainer, manager and now also promoter, Mr Joe Gallagher.And Joe was bang on form :)We went deep into a few different topics: The current UK promotional and broadcast battlegrounds, the seemingly lost art of talent spotting and with Anthony Joshua touring US gyms recently in search of a new trainer we asked Joe what he felt AJ needed to do to get back on track. He had plenty to say about that!

S1 Ep 135Macklin's Take ~135 with Kelvyn Travis
After being away for the last couple of week's at the Men's World Amateur Championships in Belgrade me and Matt decided to delve deep into the amateur code in this episode.We wanted to talk about all levels, from club to country to elite international level, and we wanted someone with some longevity too, someone who's been around the sport for longer than us and who basically knows better than us.And we had the perfect man for the job in Kelvyn Travis.A long time club coach, former international coach of Matt's, Kelvyn has seen it all and was more than happy to give us his views on the amateur scene, the condition it's in now and the changes it's seen down the years.

S1 Ep 134Macklin's Take #134 with Sam Jones
This week me and Matt are joined by top boxing manager Sam Jones.Sam has become a very familiar figure with British fight fans over the last few years and someone we've seen around a lot.But we only ever really knew him just to say hello to so thought it was time we found out a bit more about the man who co-founded the very successful SJAM an who has recently become one of Probellum's big new signings.And unsurprisingly his back story is a very interesting one, starting pretty much with a nerve-shredding make or break five minute meeting with none other than Floyd Mayweather! Sam was in at the deep end and has stayed there ever since.

S1 Ep 133Macklin's Take #133 - Fury vs Wilder
After the Fury vs Wilder trilogy concluded in Las Vegas at the weekend, just two weeks after we saw Usyk beat Joshua, we decided it was time to delve into the Heavyweight division and see how the land lies now those 2 results are in.We were both at Spurs for AJ whilst I was lucky enough to be at the T Mobile last Saturday too. It's been some fortnight. Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

S1 Ep 132Macklin's Take #132 with Robert Smith
This week on Macklin's Take me and Matt park up for an hour with Robert Smith, General Secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control.We see Robert ringside all the time and have meant to get him on the pod for ages, to get the inside track on what it's like working for the sport's oldest and best governing body; the highs, the lows, the ups, the downs, the tears and the laughter.It was great fun and Robert even felt relaxed enough to give us his top 10 Most Difficult People in British Boxing.Spoiler alert: That last bit isn't true. Maybe next time :) Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to Macklin's Take everyone!To celebrate our return, this week we welcome to the podcast top trainer Manny Robles.Manny was in town last week for the Joshua vs Usky bill and me and Matt seized the opportunity to accompany him on a deep dive into that magical night in Madison Square Garden when he and Andy Ruiz shocked the boxing world.Little did we know when we sat down and hit record that another huge heavyweight result was looming!Hope you enjoy it, it's great to be back :) Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

S1 Ep 130Macklin's Take #130 with Joe Gallagher
As we canter towards our summer break, me & Matt thought it was about time we invited our good pal Joe Gallagher back onto the podcast.As we said a few weeks ago, we've decided on MT that the pandemic is over, we're nothing if not a glass half full enterprise after all, and so with that in mind are taking the opportunity to have a look back at a unique period in boxing history.And Joe was an ideal man to do that with 😁 Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

S1 Ep 128Macklin's Take #128 with Jon Pegg
This week me and Matt welcome back our Franchise champion, the one and only Jon Pegg.Macklin's Take will be taking a summer break in a few weeks and we reckon that when we return boxing will be back, crowds will be back and the Covid era will finally be coming to a close.So we decided that over the next few episodes we'd have a bit of a light hearted look back at what has been a crazy last 15 months or so in the company of some selected guests. And unsurprisingly Jon was one of the first names on the team sheet, as he's definitely a man who can find the humour in almost any situation.

Ep 126Macklin's Take #126 with Chris McKenna
This week me & Matt catch up with Daily Star boxing writer Chris McKenna.A few weeks ago it was Chris who broke the news that AJ vs Fury wouldn't be happening because Tyson would have to first give Deontay Wilder a third fight.It was a huge story, the biggest of Chris' career to date so we were keen to know how it came about and just what it's like working on the boxing beat for a daily newspaper in the current climate; a job where you have to combine the old school values of the printed daily edition with the more modern approach demanded by the instant digital platform.The conversation went in all sorts of directions and we finished off with a good chat about the Matchroom/DAZN news, which had been confirmed the day we recorded this with Chris.Macklin's Take is now also on YouTube so if you could find your way over there and click subscribe, that would be great.http://bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

S1 Ep 123Macklin's Take #123 with IBF Flyweight champion of the world Sunny Edwards
Back in March we had a long and very enjoyable chat with a 15-0 Sunny Edwards about the trials and tribulations of a boxing life and how he'd managed to drive his career to the brink of a world title shot.A couple of months later he's now 16-0 and the new IBF Flyweight champion of the world after dethroning Moruti Mthalane, a man who hadn't lost since 2008, in immaculate style.That ladies and gentlemen is the power of Macklin's Take :)But seriously, we had to get Sunny back on the pod to hear all about that night and how life has been for him since realising his lifelong dream.Macklin's Take is now also on YouTube so if you could find your way over there and click subscribe, that would be great.http://bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Macklin's Take...It's the Return of the Cobra.Me and Matt Macklin welcome back our good friend and colleague, 3-time world Super Middleweight champion, Carl Froch.As usual the conversation took a number of turns with Carl and Matt discussing how fighters condition themselves to pain, how your formative boxing years shape you as a fighter, and why Carl wouldn't want his son to box pro.And we had time for a chat about Canelo vs Saunders and a bit of Tyson Fury too.Macklin's Take is now also on YouTube so if you could find your way over there and click subscribe, that would be great.http://bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

Macklin's Take #120 with Andy Lee (plus a surprise guest appearance from Adam Booth)
It's Chisora vs Parker at the weekend so we though we'd bring you an extra podcast this week.In this one we catch up with our good friend Andy Lee, who now trains Joseph Parker to get his thoughts on life in the corner and of course Saturday's main event.It was a very enjoyable conversation and just as I was thinking about bringing it to a close a message popped up on the screen saying that a certain Adam Booth had been admitted to the Zoom waiting room.

This week on Macklin's Take we plunge into another deep dive into a big fight, journeying back half a century to Madison Square Garden and the Fight of the Century between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali.It was a boxing occasion like no other an ringside that night, reporting on the fight for the British press, was a young Alan Hubbard so me and Matt were absolutely delighted when Alan, now a true Don of the boxing print media, agreed to join us on the podcast and give us his memories of March 8th, 1971, when the eyes of the world were firmly fixed on that squared circle just feet way from him.Macklin's Take is now also on YouTube so if you could find your way over there and click subscribe, that would be great.http://bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Macklin's Take me & Matt talk to Professor Damian Hughes, co-host of the High Performance podcast, author, and son of the legendary Manchester trainer Bryan Hughes MBE.Damian grew up surrounded by boxing and has spent his career in large part studying why elite coaches and athletes do what they do and how they go about doing it; the behaviours they insist upon and the logic they employ.And we started off with a question that has always intrigued me: Why does anyone choose a boxing life? A big question and our attempt to answer it led to a really enjoyable conversation.Macklin's Take is also now on YouTube so if you could take a minute to head over to the channel, check out the content and subscribe, that would be much appreciated.http://bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

S1 Ep 113Macklin's Take #113 with Fabio Wardley
With Povetkin vs Whyte coming up at the weekend we decided to bring you some extra pods this week.In this one we catch up with the 10-0 Fabio Wardley who takes on two-time world title challenger Eric Molina in the chief support.Fabio's route into pro boxing was an unusual one and he's made huge strides since turning over just 4 years ago, in no small part due to his mental approach to the sport and the self-belief he discovered early on in his boxing journey and has managed to successfully nurture since.Me and Matt talked to him about all the above and plenty more besides. It was an absolute pleasure.Macklin's Take is now also on YouTube so please do go over, have a look & subscribe:http://bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

S1 Ep 111Macklin's Take #111 with Darren Barker
This week sees me and Matt welcome former IBF World Middleweight champion and good friend Darren Barker to the podcast for a long overdue Macklin's Take debut.Matt and Darren, were the same weight and their careers ran in parallel lines really. They very nearly boxed at one point, posters were printed and it was all ready to go top of the bill on the much-vaunted Magnificent Seven card, but an injury to Darren prevented it. So we revisit the fight that never was and the two of them compare notes and stories not just from their fighting days but also from their new careers as media pundits.If you enjoy the podcast then please do check out our YouTube channel where we bring you extra content consisting of excerpts from old episodes as well as weekly topical debate centred around what's happening in the world of boxing.http://bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

S1 Ep 110Macklin's Take episode #110 with Sunny Edwards
This week on Macklin's Take me and Matt are joined by the 15-0 British Super Flyweight champion Sunny Edwards.Getting noticed as a young pro fighter, if you don't turn over with Olympic pedigree, has always been a challenge. Boxing is a business and as a fighter you have to market yourself, promote yourself, drive your own career; in short you have to sell yourself as best you can. And you have to be able to fight too. It's a long, hard game and you have to have a plan.Sunny has always had a plan and in this episode he tells me and Matt about the philosophies that underpin the moves he makes, the mistakes he's made and what he's learnt from them. It was an enlightening conversation, it really was.

Ep 109Macklin's Take #109 - The Big Fight Deep Dive with Adam Smith - Naseem Hamed vs Kevin Kelley
In this episode we take you back to Christmas 1997 and NYC for a deep dive into Prince Naseem Hamed's sensational US debut at Madison Square Garden vs Kevin Kelley.There was never a dull moment with Naz and nobody knows that better than Sky Sport's Adam Smith, who was on the inside of the Sheffield fighter's career through its many highs and also its controversial lows. Adam was in New York 24 years ago, spending 2 weeks out there wrapped around a fight that with hindsight was probably the highlight of Hamed's extraordinary career. Luckily for us he remembers it like it was yesterday.

S1 Ep 107Macklin's Take #107 with Lou DiBella
In this episode me and Matt Macklin talk the Art of the Deal with boxing Hall of Famer Lou DiBella.With a mega fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury in the pipeline we decided we needed to get the inside track on how fights like that actually get made, how negotiations get over the line and what the major obstacles often are.Lou has performed pretty much every role in the business of boxing and at the very highest level too so he was the ideal man for the job. It was a very illuminating conversation with one of the sport's most lucid and straightest talkers. And just a reminder that Macklin's Take is now on YouTube. So please do head over to our page and subscribe; there's already a lot of great content on there, including a new, shorter weekly podcast that me and Matt have started doing, looking at what's currently happening in the weird and wonderful world of boxing.YouTube link: bitly.com/MacklinsTakeYouTube Desire + CapitalRyan and Jamie talking about people talking about Marx, and occasionally Marx himself....Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify The Noco Moto Motorcycle PodcastHosts MotoGPete and Swiggy are on a mission to discuss, rate, ride, and philosophize...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify 1 Star RecruitsA weekly podcast about life and sports featuring 5 Star guests for all us 1 Stars!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 106Macklin's Take #106 with Chris Miah
This week on Macklin's Take we bring you an episode people have been asking for over the last year or so.An in-depth discussion of strength and conditioning training. What is it? What's it designed to achieve? How much should you do and when should you do it?There are plenty of misconceptions out there so we recruited MMA fighter and top S&C coach Chris Miah to guide us through the whole thing as well as the weight-making process and plenty else besides.

Macklin's Take #105 with Glenn Catley
Cus D'Amato once said that fear is like fire: If you can control then it can give you heat and light but if you can't control then it will burn you to the ground.This week me and Matt Macklin are joined by former WBC Super Middleweight champion, now clinical psychotherapist Glenn Catley to talk about fear, about how fighters have to be able not to just overcome it but to harness it, control it, to "make it their friend" as Matt often says. It's a key issue, one that affects not just boxers but people in all walks of life. We all know what it's like to feel nervous, afraid or at the very least apprehensive and how inhibiting or even destructive it can be so it was great to pick Glenn's expert brain.

S1 Ep 104Macklin's Take #104 with John Rawling
This week me and Matt are joined by one of the best commentators in the business; the smooth voice of BT Boxing, John Rawling.John's called countless big fights from ringside over the last few decades and his enthusiasm for the job remains undimmed so it was great to talk to him about the demands of the role and how he believes it should be done.We also had time to have a look at how the industry has changed in the time he's been in it and in an effort to boost everyone's morale turned the clock back 11 months to Tyson Fury's epic rematch victory over Deontay Wilder.

Ep 103Macklin's Take #103 with Curtis Woodhouse
This week me & Matt Macklin bring you our first episode of 2021, so welcome back everyone! And we revisit the Make or Break theme we came up with over the summer where we talk to fighters about pivotal fights in their careers, fights that had they lost them then their lives would not have been the same. Our guest is Curtis Woodhouse, who has one of the best stories in all of sport, not just boxing. A premier League footballer, he turned his back on the game in his mid-20s to become a professional boxer. People laughed at him, they thought he’d lost his mind. He vowed to win a British title. They laughed even harder. But he silenced them all. You couldn’t make it up, you really couldn’t.

Macklin's take #102 - 2020 Festive Selection Box
Merry Christmas everyone and welcome to a Macklin's Take Yuletide special.Like last year, our top producer Darren Rees has put together a Festive Selection Box featuring some of the best bits from what has been a highly unusual year.Eddie Hearn, Frank Warren, Conor Benn and Dave Coldwell all feature as do Paul Ramsay, Shaun Cogan and Anthony Maynard who joined us for our This Boxing Life episode back at the start of the year.Obviously it's been an absolutely bizarre last 9 months. It's been beyond strange but we've loved doing the podcast through it all. It's been great fun and a great distraction for both of us so thanks to everyone who's listened and to all our guests of course.We'll be back in 2021, in the meantime have a great Christmas and New Year everyone.

S1 Ep 101Macklin's Take #101 with Robert Diaz
In this episode me and Matt tackle one of our favourite subjects: Matchmaking. Good matchmaking is crucial not only to the development of individual fighters but to the overall health of the sport. It’s a genuine art and good matchmakers are worth their weight in gold. They know how to pick the right opponents at the right time, how to provide boxers with the in-ring education they need to develop and improve and also of course how and when to deliver to the paying public the fights we want to see. One of the best around is Goldenboy Promotions matchmaker Robert Diaz and we were lucky enough to catch up with him in Yucatan, Mexico. It was an education so we hope you get as much out of it as we did. And we talked a bit of Canelo vs Smith and Garcia vs Campbell too.

Mumba-gate is revisited as is the time Macklin and Michael Gomez rebranded themselves as a modern day Batman and Robin. It was great fun; we'll definitely be getting the Magic Man back on in the future.And finally we'd like to say a big thank you to all of you who listen to the podcast. It's great to get to 100 episodes, we love doing it, so here's to another 100!

Macklin's Take #99 with Peter Fury
For this one we welcome Peter Fury back to Macklin's Take.And I ask Peter and Matt a question that's been hotly debated in British boxing over the last week or so.How much can we reasonably expect fighters to give in the ring?How far through the pain barrier can we really demand that they push themselves in pursuit of victory?It was fascinating to listen to their take on what is a complex issue.And we talked a bit of Joshua vs Pulev and of course Hughie Fury vs Mariusz Wach.

Macklin's Take #98 with Bob Arum
This week on Macklin's Take me and Matt are joined by none other than Top Rank boss Bob Arum.Bob turned 89 this week and has now been promoting boxing for 54 years. During that time he really has been there and seen and done it all so it was great to sit down with him for an hour and get his thoughts on AJ vs Pulev, the current state of the boxing industry, the future for Top Rank and plenty else besides. We even had time to get his take on the assassination of JFK as back in the early 60s, before he turned to boxing, Bob was working at the US Department of Justice when it happened. The man is history in human form!We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Macklin's Take #97 – The Big Fight Deep Dive with Kevin Mitchell – Evander Holyfield vs Lennox Lewis I & II
This week me & Matt Macklin are joined by esteemed boxing scribe and author Kevin Mitchell to look back at the two showdowns between Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis in 1999 that eventually saw Lewis crowned undisputed King of the Heavyweight division. The 90s was a mad decade in the top division; a 42/1 upset, Fan Man, a belt in the bin, the return of George Foreman, the Bite Fight, Andrew Golota. It was chaos. Luckily for us Kev was right in the thick of it and ringside at both Madison Square Garden and the Thomas & Mack for those Holyfield vs Lewis mega fights.

Ep 96Macklin’s Take #96 with Ashley Theophane
This week me & Matt Macklin are joined by Ashley Theophane. Ashley, and I mean this in the best possible way, is not the kind of man you meet every day, even by boxing’s unusual standards. He’s been a pro for the best part of 2 decades, winning a British title almost 10 years ago before leaving these shores to join Floyd Mayweather’s Money Team in Las Vegas, appearing on some huge Mayweather cards and boxing for a world title before emabarking on a world tour that has seen him take fights in Mexico, Ghana, Romania and Dubai to name just a few of his destinations. He’s back in the UK and fights on December 11th vs Sam Eggington so we thought it was about we caught up with him.

Ep 95Macklin's Take #95 – The Big Fight Deep Dive with Ron Lewis – Joe Calzaghe vs Jeff Lacy
This week me & Matt Macklin are joined by top boxing writer Ron Lewis as we take a deep dive into the March 2006 World Super Middleweight unification clash between WBO champ Joe Calzaghe and IBF ruler Jeff Lacy. It was a make or break fight for Calzaghe. After years of defending his WBO title finally he had the big fight he’d been waiting for but when he walked to the ring in the early hours in Manchester Joe found himself the betting underdog against the big punching “Left Hook” Lacy. What followed was a complete masterclass from the Welshman and a win that both captured the attention of the boxing world and led to the great fights that crowned his career.

Ep 94Macklin's Take #94 – The Big Fight Deep Dive with Tim May - Tyson vs Douglas
This week me & Matt Macklin take a deep dive into the biggest upset in boxing history, James Buster Douglas’ stunning win against the unbeaten, undisputed Heavyweight champion of the world Iron Mike Tyson. Douglas 42/1 with the bookmakers when he walked to the ring in Tokyo in February 1990 and had been written off by everyone. Well, not quite everyone. Tim May was ringside covering the fight for the Columbus Dispatch, Douglas’ local paper in Ohio, had known Buster for years and was the only person to predict a Douglas win. Tim joined us to turn the clock back 30 years and it was fantastic to talk to him about his memories of the build-up and the fight itself. He still remembers it like it was yesterday.

Ep 93Macklin's Take #93 – The Big Fight Deep Dive with Steve Bunce - Benn vs Eubank
This week me & Matt Macklin take a deep dive into another big fight, this time in the company of our good friend Steve Bunce. For this one we turn the clock back 30 years to a Sunday night in November 1990 when Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank met in the ring for the first time. It was the greatest rivalry British boxing had ever seen and probably will ever see. The build-up was electric and the fight was a classic. Buncey was ringside that night and had followed both fighters from the beginning so was the perfect man to help us get under the skin of a legendary night.
