Summary

Buncey chats to many of the women fighting at the Royal Albert Hall this Friday. He kicks things off with promoter Ben Shalom, who explains why this card is so significant and how it provides a much-needed boost for women's boxing. Along with their trainers, he catches up with both Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price who are headlining the event. Will the experience of Jonas trump the raw talent of Price? We also hear from Caroline Dubois who discusses her world title defence and her ambitions to become undisputed within the next year. And up and coming prospect Francesca Hennessy is also on the pod.
