  • Issues with uploads?

    The pod seems to be uploaded a week or so after it originally is supposed to be - by then pod is irrelevant as it’s old news. Outstanding otherwise even if the pod is obsessed with AJ

  • TalkAJ

    Nearly every show is titled AJ this or AJ that! Loads of boxing news to talk about atm but the AJ coverage is baffling for a guy coming off a KO loss with no fight booked 🤷‍♂️

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Well If You Let Me Finish...
Q: Can you explain the risk of pursuing 50-50 fights as a core model for boxing?
A 50-50 fight structure could maximize spectacle but may undermine long-term fighter development and the ability to build a stable weight-class ecosystem; promoters must balance immediate popularity with career longevity for athletes.
Well If You Let Me Finish...
Q: What is your assessment of Zuffa Boxing's multi-year deal with Sky Sports?
The panel sees potential benefits in bigger fights and pay-per-view infrastructure, but there are major questions about belt integrity, sanctioning body alignments, and whether fighters will receive sustained opportunities at the elite level.
AJ BEATS TYSON FURY
Q: Where are you on this particular Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight in terms of likelihood and risk?
The panel broadly agrees it's a volatile matchup with serious risk for Joshua, acknowledging Jake Paul's size and power while noting Joshua's proven experience and knockout potential; the consensus is that the fight could happen but remains controversial and opinionated, with business and spectacle driving some of the discussion.
Tunde & Paul's EXPLOSIVE Debate Hits BOILING POINT!
Q: Where do you think it went wrong on the night?
Tunde shares insights on the challenges Yarde faced and mentions that they prepared well regardless of Benavides being a special fighter.
SIMON, YOU NEVER BACK ANTHONY JOSHUA!
Q: Do you think AJ's fight with Jake Paul was a legitimate preparation for a world title fight?
No, you don't play boxing. Boxing needs to ask itself about the commission of such a fight. It's a big problem that boxing will be brought into disrepute.
