Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio Patrick Connor

Heavyweight slugfests. There's just something about two large fighters wrecking one another that's so difficult to turn away from.
Deontay Wilder's heavyweight showdown with Zhilei Zhang features two heavy punchers among the big men, and while there are asterisks (which we discuss!), it could wind up being a heck of a fight.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, we preview Wilder-Zhang and remember a bunch of heavyweight slugfests.

Oleksandr Usyk is the new undisputed heavyweight champion. That sentence alone tells you what you need to know. There were other details, sure. Like how Tyson Fury put up a scrap, and how it was a great fight. And the locale was interesting.
On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor is joined by fellow history guru Aris Pina and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler in recapping an excellent heavyweight championship fight.

At one point, the heavyweight championship was the most-coveted title in mainstream sports. Management teams and promoters are often inspired to take shortcuts, or at least unconventional paths, to lead a fighter to something nearing the heavyweight title.
On this episode, we briefly talk about Anthony Joshua's clash with Francis Ngannou, but spend the bulk of the episode recalling other heavyweights from history who were fast-tracked.
