Angle (feat. Lil Whimsy)

My guest on this episode the VP of Communications at Haymon Sports - Mr. Tim Smith.

We spoke about the PBC’s game plan in not rushing to be first to come back to the airways Post-COVID.  And how their schedule of fights came together over the months that they were off-air.

We got into the difficulties of putting on shows with the various medical and logistical problems associated with COVID and how PBC prepared for the inevitability of a fighter testing positive - as it happened on their very first show with Stephon Fulton.

We then spoke about the excellent schedule of fights that PBC rolled out on Showtime including the Charlos shared PPV, Tank vs Santa Cruz, and Ouballi-Donaire. We also got into what to expect for the upcoming schedule for PBC on FOX.

It was a really fun conversation.  Hope you enjoy it.

Boxing Esq. Podcast #55 - Tim Smith

My guest on this episode is former two-time Heavyweight Champion of the World - Chris Byrd.

We talk about Chris’s miraculous recovery from years of debilitating pain from nerve damage in his foot, hip replacement surgery, and numerous shoulder problems. 

We discussed Chris's new diet and alternative therapies that aided his recovery.

We also spoke about Chris’s great career from his days in the amateurs and sparring in an 8 by 10 ring in his parents' basement; his trip to the Olympic trials in 1988; his Olympic Silver Medal in 1992; not getting signed by a major promoter coming off of that medal and his roundabout journey as an avoided fighter to a shot at the Heavyweight title and eventually becoming a two-time champ.  

We also go into his battles in the ring with Ike Ibeabuchi, Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko, Maurice Harris, David Tua, Evander Holyfield, Jameel McCline and many more and how he found out that many of his contemporaries were using PEDs.

It was a great conversation - hope you enjoy it.
