Ex-World Champion middleweight, Darren Barker, gives us a brilliantly open discussion to mark the 12th anniversary of his brother Gary tragically passing away and the impact it has on Christmas for the Barker family. As well as this, Darren talks about life after retirement, and how the 12x3 boxing & fitness gym he opened has given him an added focus.

One of the best sports presenters in the country, Anna Woolhouse, talks to us about having to deal with vile trolls, as well as how she approaches Christmas since the tragic loss of her brother. A must listen.

One of the leading journalists in boxing, Tris Dixon, helps us summarise the conversations we've had throughout the week and gives his own view on mental health within the sport based on his decades of experience.

Footballer-turned-boxer, Leon McKenzie, opens up about his own struggles with depression, which led to him losing his home, liberty, and culminated in a suicide bid. He then fought back as a professional in the ring and has also become one of the leading voices on mental health within sport.
