Summary

Barry Jones joins Buncey to reflect on a spectacular British heavyweight title fight at the O2. Fabio Wardley and Fraser Clarke's 12-round bout ended in a split-decision draw which meant Wardley retained his title. We hear from both fighters and promoter Ben Shalom. Ben Whittaker is also on the pod as he showboated his way to a comfortable points win against Leon Willings. And Barry talks us through the recently announced undercard for the Fury-Usyk fight next month.

Now the fight was last night and I was sat next to Barry Jones. In fact we were

together from about four o'clock in the afternoon because there was some undercard
