  • Not as good as it once was

    I like Steve Bunce, he is a character and so knowledgeable about boxing and the people who grace the sport. but it used to be some much better when he had Mike Costello to bounce off as well

    I want a show all about women’s boxing.

    And the reasons why it seems to be in decline.

    A few years ago the future looked bright - amazing women on every bill.

    So what’s happened?

    Why have promoters stopped pushing?

    We all know Turki Al Sheikh has no interest - but what about Hearn and Warren?
