BEYOND BOXING EP219 - FURY KO'D BY STELLA ARTOIS
A man should be able to have a beer in peace without the media watching and reporting on it, but when it comes to Tyson Fury and his history with substance abuse and depression, it’s always a worry to his fans and those that care about him.
When you dig deeper, and you look below the surface. You remember that this is the guy who, as much as he tells you that he’s a fighting man in his heart and soul he’s not a born fighter. He’s a guy that had to learn how to be a fighter and that can play well for the public, but in reality, if that’s not who you are it could cause problems for you further down the line. -
BEYOND BOXING EP218 - ZHANG SENDS DEONTAY INTO THE WILDERNESS
Top-level, Boxing is a rough rough spot. The one thing you should never do is deviate from who you actually are in a boxing ring.
On Saturday. We saw Deontay Wilder, try and be somebody he’s not. Now, the real questions to ask did that win over Robert Helenius and the effect it had on him post fight, did that change his outlook on knockouts or was the Tyson Fury fight so traumatic to him that he’s never been the same?
Maybe we will never know the answers, but the question do need to be asked -
BEYOND BOXING EP217 - THE FAMOUS 5 WARREN V HEARN
The waiting is over we finally get Matchroom versus Queensbury five versus five supposedly the best versus the best
If we are being honest, we know there is a large amount of politics at play here and if you’re being transparent Eddie has probably sent the B team out and Frank has sent his A team.
As great a card as this is we don’t feel that it’s as competitive as it would’ve been four years ago when there was supposedly real animosity between Matchroom and Queensbury this feels like forced niceness and the fans we have to ask whether they are being taken for a ride. -
BEYOND BOXING EP216 - USYK: THE BEST, BEYOND DISPUTE
I was wrong about Usyk I can hold my hands up. I was 100% wrong about the man. He showed on Saturday night what it is to be truly elite
In a fight that was going against him for the first seven rounds, for him to turn it around, shows the mark of the man and shows why he’s a champion.
We have to see him as a great now. -
BEYOND BOXING EP215 - FURY - USYK: THE SMALLEST BIG EVENT EVER
We're finally here. We finally get one face, one king of boxing.
Now will it be Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk?
I don't think the answer is obvious, but I hope the analysis here helps. -
BEYOND BOXING EP214 - THE EPISODE I NEVER WANTED TO DO
Sometimes it’s easy to forget how dangerous boxing is.
No parent should ever have to bury their child and this weekend was a reminder that for all the things we say, all the issues we talk about in boxing, boxer safety should always, and I mean always, remain top of that list.
We may not be where we want to be but we are further ahead than we were a decade ago.
However, that doesn’t ease the pain for the family of Sherifdeen Lawal. That doesn’t ease the pain for those who trained with him those who fought against him and those that knew him more widely.
These events are heartbreaking because we promise to keep your kids safe in our sport and when we can’t it hurts.
RIP SHERIFDEEN LAWAL.
