    NE Bullsh*t Club Podcast - Episode 006 | Callum Drinkald & Jake Paterson | UNLICENSED VS AMATEUR

    Episode 6 of the NE B******t Club Podcast is here Unlicensed vs Amateur. 🥊 This week, we’re joined by Callum Drinkald and Jake Paterson, two fighters taking very different routes through the boxing world. Callum is an established amateur boxer who has made the move over to unlicensed boxing, while Jake is doing the opposite moving from the unlicensed scene into amateur boxing. With both lads experiencing different sides of the sport, this made for a quality conversation with plenty of debate, opinions and insight into amateur vs unlicensed boxing. We get into the differences between the two scenes, what each route offers, and where the lads see their boxing careers heading next. We also talk professional boxing and whether that’s ultimately the route Callum and Jake want to go down in the future. And, of course, we catch up with Jack AKA the Palmo Prince to find out where he’s been, what he’s been up to and what’s been going on in his life. Callum also isn’t shy about dropping a few names 👀 and revealing some of the people he’d like to share the ring with next… A proper interesting episode hearing both sides of the argument and getting an insight into the lads’ journeys through the sport so far. 🥊 UNLICENSED VS AMATEUR WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?

    NE Bullsh*t Club Podcast - Episode 002 | Robbie Colman & Dylan Phoenix Morrison | PURPOSE

    In Episode 002, we’re joined by Robbie “The Showman” Colman and Dylan Phoenix Morrison for some seriously interesting conversations. Fresh off an incredible 20 rounds with Josh Blenkiron across two Northern Area Lightweight Title fights, Robbie breaks down the entire experience. We discuss the build-up to both contests, the controversial point deduction that proved costly in the first fight, his mindset and motivation going into the rematch, and the emotions of finally getting his hands on the Northern Area belt after winning the second fight by split decision. The pair first met for the vacant title in January 2026, with Blenkiron edging a razor-close 96-95 decision after Robbie lost a point late in the fight, before Robbie gained revenge and captured the title in their April rematch. We also dive deep into the topic of purpose, bringing Dylan Phoenix Morrison into the conversation as he opens up about his amateur journey, the lessons he’s learned in boxing, and how he bounced back from a nightmare professional debut to keep moving forward. This episode is packed with honest stories, boxing insights, mindset discussions, plenty of laughs, and a look ahead at what the future holds for both lads.
