If that body shot was thrown on a Friday night in York Hall, it would be called as fair.

We have seen those shots allowed and we have seen them penalised. that is where the controversy comes from. 

This probably should have been called as fair, but the rules are the rules.

definitely maybe

BEYOND BOXING EP183 - USYK SAYS IT WAS LOW, DUBOIS SAYS IT WAS FAIR. WHAT SAY YOU?

Is Boxing in South London working? 

Now, we have seen so many boxers from south London Chamberlain, Riakporhe, Azeez, Bentley, Cheeseman all winning titles, but we’ve never felt confident that, at the top level, we had guys that can do it. 

In fact we haven’t had a guy we felt confident a boxer could dominate since David Haye.

Is that a sign that is the problems run deep in South London Boxing, 

I think so.￼

EVERMORE

BEYOND BOXING EP222 - AZEEZ CHAMBERLAIN RIAKPORHE: IS SOUTH LONDON BOXING WORKING?

This is a great opportunity to shake off some ring rust, and kind of feel my way back into recording.

Boxing is in a really interesting place. There’s a lot less money in boxing than there used to be and as such, you have more people chasing less money and we are starting to see the effect of that on both international and domestic boxing.

BEYOND BOXING EP225 - WHERE ARE WE WITH BOXING?

There is an argument to say that Daniel Dubois has not lived up to the potential he had as a as an 18 or 19-year-old making his way in the professional ranks.

But, he has shown his resilience and ability to fight back from setbacks to finally become a world champion. 

On September 21 he has the opportunity to cement his reputation as a genuine world Champion by beating Joshua, easily his hardest challenge.

Here’s how he can do it.

BEYOND BOXING EP227 - HOW DANIEL DUBOIS BEATS AJ

There is no question that Anthony Joshua is a massive favourite in this fight against Daniel Dubois.

From his experience, power, size and strangely enough skill, he has a lot of things over Daniel, but the real test is whether he still has the desire in his mid thirties to to be the man in the division again.

To do so he’ll have to stop Daniel Dubois in an emphatic performance in order for us to believe that he could beat Usyk or Tyson Fury.

But, there are many ways that Joshua can win and in this episode, we will focus on some of the keys to victory for Anthony Joshua.￼

BEYOND BOXING EP228 - ANTHONY JOSHUA’S PATH TO VICTORY

We’re so close to fight night, and this week has been a week or so many plot lines. From the status of Don Charles being debated to the tension between Willy Hutchinson and Joshua Buatsi, and the weigh-in on Friday was kind of a good moment to bring everything together. 

Fans were in good spirit. The promoters in good spirit. The boxers were clearly focused and energised, and it made for a great spectacle.

Boxing wouldn’t get this kind of spectacle without the Saudi money being involved and at some point, we have to accept that their money is just as good as anyone’s money.

BEYOND BOXING EP229 - JOSHUA - DUBOIS: LIFT OFF!

Wow! Just wow!

These are the times you live boxing.

BEYOND BOXING EP230 - JOSHUA - DUBOIS: WOW!!!

With Anthony Joshua versus Daniel Dubois now complete. We have an opportunity to reflect on what was one of the most spectacular seven days in British boxing history, and the big winner in the last seven days have been Don Charles, with his reputation, greatly enhanced, and many of the things he’s been saying for years finally vindicated.

For many others, it means a reassessment of careers and in the case of Josh Warrington, we get to say goodbye to a British boxing legend￼.

BEYOND BOXING EP231 - JOSHUA - DUBOIS: FINAL CHAPTER

Who doesn't love a party? Definitely not boxing fans.

They had done it before and it worked, but they confused luck with destiny and paid a heavy price.

Whatever we say about partygate, there wasn't a version of Daniel Dubois that would have beaten Oleksandr Usyk.
