Buncey speaks to three of the big promoters involved in Saturday’s fight. Eddie Hearn tells us about finding a new opponent for Shakur Stevenson after Floyd Schofield was pulled out of the fight. Frank Warren talks Daniel Dubois, building a heavyweight empire and why Hamzah Sheeraz will be a superstar. And Golden Boy’s Oscar de la Hoya explains why the Madrimov-Ortiz fight is the one to look out for. And Joe Gallagher sits down with Buncey for a sombre and emotional chat after announcing last week he has cancer.
