Summary

Buncey is in Belfast to reflect on a fun night of boxing at the Ulster Hall. He’s joined by Cheavon Clarke who came through a tricky fight with local boy Tommy McCarthy. They discuss how the fight went and what’s next for him. We also hear from Matchroom CEO Frank Smith who updates us on what we can expect from the schedule over the next few months. Paddy Donovan and his trainer Andy Lee talk about their tough evening that ended with a win, and Lewis Crocker chats to us shortly after his victory. Barry Jones is also on the pod from Phoenix after John Ryder was beaten by Jaime Munguia. And with the huge all-British fight at Wembley this weekend, we hear from Joshua Buatsi as he prepares to face fellow south Londoner Dan Azeez.
