The public are upset with Conor Benn being able to fight on Saturday. I can see why they are, but the people that should have been able to stop him failed to do so. It’s also at a point where it’s better that he is banned or he boxes because we are tired of the soap opera now.

We have a major problem with governance in boxing.
The lack of clear governance and leadership is turning fans off the sport at a time when it needs all the support it can get.

BEYOND BOXING EP187 - CONOR BENN IS BACK?

https://linktr.ee/highfieldboxing

Boxing is cruel. One punch can undo a whole lifetime's worth of work. But, should we be so hard on Joe Joyce?

Here is a man that said yes to every challenge and was fine being an underdog - the kind of fighter we want. Yet, when he loses, we are so quick to turn.

Until boxing fans are more balanced in their views, we will struggle to build stars and get real 50/50 fights.

Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk looks like it has been agreed, but we will believe it when we see it.

If it does happen, it will be the last chapter of an era that promised so much but delivered so little.

When that boxing recession does happen, do not be afraid to go out and do other things.
Enjoy your life.

BEYOND BOXING EP189 - FURY: USYK THE FINAL CHAPTER IN A TERRIBLE SAGA

Say what you want but KSI has built a boxing business without having to work with the boxing business.

He is proof that, in todays era, you need to be interesting more than you need to be talented.

Until boxing realises that, the sport will continue to decline as it is held prisoner by the type of people you’d never buy a used car off.

Thriller

BEYOND BOXING EP192 - KSI IS THE MONEY MAN IN UK BOXING

Tonight, we have two boxing shows that are a hard sell individually, and a hard sell collectively.

As much as we are happy the boxers are getting paid, the fans should see some value for their time and expenditure.
Until promoters, managers and boxers understand this, we are digging our own grave for boxing.

As fans we also need to do better and stop watching things we don't think are good enough. At a time when the cost of eating and living is going up, the sport we love is not delivering the feel-good moments we need.

BEYOND BOXING EP193 - BOXXER V DAZN - WHO WINS?

If anyone has had a harder 5 years in boxing than Isaac Chamberlain, please send them my way.
Watching him win the British and Commonwealth was the definition of a feel-good story and what we watch boxing for.
In contrast Jack Catterall is sill waiting for his fairytale moment and it is likely that wait will continue well past his retirement.
(0% of boxing is making the public care about you. You do that in the ring.

TAKE CARE

BEYOND BOXING EP194 - FROM CHAMBO SEASON TO RIYADH SEASON

What you do outside the ring will show in the ring as Andre Sterling once said.
What we saw from Fury was a man struggling to cope with the realities of his physical condition, and a man out of love with boxing.
When you love boxing you are faithful to it, loyal to it and the rhythms and routines it demands.
Fury faced a man in Francis Ngannou who had a real point to prove, and my goodness did he prove it.

Last night showed that Hard work is the match that lights up the talent.

https://linktr.ee/highfieldboxing The battle for the worst weekend in boxing intensifies.
Lat weekend's action is right up there in the trash stakes.

The Newcastle show was interesting as it was a reminder that the talent pool in British boxing is poor and has been for a while.

So, we got all the boxers we wanted to see this year, but none of the fights we wanted to see.

However, all is not lost because the card on December 23rd will be a lot better than Carry on Camping and Bambi on ITV2.

BEYOND BOXING EP197 - DAY OF RECKONING

The Conor Benn saga reappears. The Board are taking a strong stance on Conor Benn boxing in the UK.

Is it 'better late than never for them to be taking such a strong stance and can Matchroom find a way though?
