    Onto BIGGER And Better?

    Craig Richards has recently announced that he’s signed a multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing and will make his debut as the co-main, of stablemate Johnny Fisher at the Copper Box Arena, London, on September 26. After spending around 10 years with Matchroom Boxing, Richards has said he reached a point where he simply couldn’t get the fights made. So, is the move to Zuffa Boxing really a case of onto bigger and better? That’s what we’ll be discussing — along with a wider conversation about the changing priorities in modern boxing, and why more fighters appear willing to sacrifice legacy, loyalty and long-term promotional relationships in favour of making the most money they can while they still can. Craig Richards x October Red — Onto Bigger and Better?

A thoughtful look at where boxing has been, where it is now, and what may need to change if the sport is going to thrive. Hosted by October Red with Boxing Beats & Rhymes.
