Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Holly Hamilton, David Alorka, Mark Watson
GB sprinter and Gladiator Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, broadcaster Holly Hamilton, presenter David Alorka and comedian Mark Watson join Rick Edwards for an hour of sporting punditry, humour and entertainment.

Customer Reviews
A warm fighting hug.
I fell out of love with podcasts when the pandemic hit.
Unsubscribed to them all.
I signed back up to my usuals one by one.
Returning to Fighting Talk was like a warm hug.
It’s like I never went away, happiness in my ears.
Regulars and new voices.
That’s what I like about Fighting Talk, they are loyal and they enable representation.
Love it.
Fighting Talk back on top since the return of Colin Murray
One of, if not the best sports podcast out there. Back on top banter (god I hate that word) form since the return of its spiritual leader and host Colin Murray.
Just to say...
...This series gets better and better, Colin finally feels at home. Thanks for the laughs
