Bringing you the best guests ranging from promoters and writers to trainers and fighters. It’s the Fight Game as it happens.
Show #1 – The opening show from the 4Thumps Irish Boxing Podcast.
Our panel – Kevin Byrne, Ciaran Gallagher and Eric Donovan – hears from world title challenger Andy ‘The Great White Hope’ Lee on his upcoming WBO bout with undefeated Russian Matt Korobov.
We’ve also got a unique interview with the one and only Katie Taylor as she finalises her preparations for the World Championships in Jeju next month. Not only do our hosts chat with the Olympic champ – but we spar her too. Eric reveals what he’s learned from the best.
We also discuss Joe Ward & David Oliver Joyce’s opening defeats in the APB, success for the Leinster girls in Germany, the agony of the ‘quarter-final bout’, Eric’s pal Tom Stalker falling to his first pro defeat and the man no one in their right mind should want to fight – Gennady Golovkin.
