THE BOXING SHOW By Boxing News

Join your host Rob Tebbutt for an action-packed weekly show as Rob is joined by former WBO Super-Featherweight world champion Barry Jones and top boxing commentator Andy Clarke. Every Monday the guys get together to review and preview all the biggest fights and to delve into all the latest boxing news. 

'The Boxing Show' is a podcast By Boxing News 

THIS week, Matt Christie announced he was leaving Boxing News which left some of you wondering what was to become of The Opening Bell. Matt and Alex Steedman - aka Steedo - explain all.

There’s plenty of time to look back on the stunning display from Ryan Garcia as he dropped Devin Haney three times to win on the cards. Even by boxing’s barmy standards, this is some story.

In This Week we relive the moment when Lennox Lewis switched off and Hasim Rahman became one of the unlikeliest heavyweight champions in history.

As of next week, you won’t be able to find us in the usual place, but you will find us here: https://linktr.ee/TheOpeningBellPodcast

IT’S fight week in Brooklyn, New York. But something doesn’t feel quite right about it. Ryan Garcia, after months of madness on social media, is heading into the ring with Devin Haney, a fighter widely regarded as one of the best on the planet.  What could possibly go wrong?

The exceptionally matched ‘5 v 5’ concept is discussed in detail as Team Hearn and Team Warren reveal their starting line-ups for the June 1 Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol undercard.

Zelfa Barrett got the job done against Jordan Gill, showing flashes of brilliance along the way, yet there’s still a sense he has higher gears to find.

Finally, in This Week, we go back to 1984 and a Milton McCrory masterclass that is frankly impossible not to compare to the very best of Thomas Hearns.

If you’d read this far, and I doubt anyone on planet earth has, leave a review stating you have done so and we’ll read it out on the next show.

DID Richardson Hitchins get lucky in Las Vegas last week? Certainly, one judge turned in a score that was unfathomable which again begs the question: What was the judge watching? 

In turn, one is left to ponder the various vantage points when watching a fight. Whether from the ring apron, amongst the crowd or at home on TV.

We pay tribute to John Westgarth, look ahead to a quality main event in Manchester between Jordan Gill and Zelfa Barrett and - in This Week - look back on the outlandish power of Julian Jackson.

Leave us a review and spread the good word of The Opening Bell.

BOXING fans were handed a treat far better than any chocolate egg or succulent portion of roast lamb on Easter Sunday when Frazer Clarke and Fabio Wardley turned in a heavyweight humdinger of the ages. 

Quite how long it will take the two boxers to recover, after such heroic efforts, is another matter. We examine the fight in detail, ponder how on earth they did it, while looking ahead to the inevitable rematch.

In This Week, we go back to 2009 and one of the last fights of Edwin Valero’s life while reflecting on his legacy, death and, of course, what might have been.

WE react to news that Conor Benn’s provisional suspension might be reimposed following the successful BBBoC and UKAD appeal, discuss Dalton Smith’s impressive demolition of Jose Zepeda and attempt to work out what will happen when Frazer Clarke challenges Fabio Wardley.

There’s also a sighting of new British champion Ashley Lane in Nando’s to discuss and a bombastic showing from Earnie Shavers, in 1979, to remember.
