Stockholm based Brit, Two engaging hosts with a vast knowledge of fight sports, Living in Sweden limits the amount of live fights broadcasted and your pods really do support me keeping up to date . Keep up the great work.

I am a regular listener based in Stockholm and really enjoy these pods. I must admit that I don’t listen to many live radio broadcasts anymore due to all the streaming and live shows on the TV, but had set my alarm to wake up in the early morning for the Joshua/Ruiz bout and got the five live radio show up on the phone. I absolutely loved it so please keep up the great work!
Extremely enjoyable

I listen to a lot of podcasts but I always listen to this one first. Jovial, informative and entertaining- these two have spent decades around boxing and broadcasting. The extra pods before and after fight-night capture the moment in time brilliantly. Occasionally, a big fight goes without a mention - maybe a run down of the weeks fights would be a good addition. Keep up the good work 👍
