Peter Fury on Ryan Garcia's Win over Conor Benn, AJ vs Tyson Fury & Rico Verhoeven

Fight Your Corner

Show Notes

Peter Fury joins Tony Bellew and Charlie Parsons on Fight Your Corner for a must-watch episode on Conor Benn's loss to Ryan Garcia, Rico Verhoeven, Moses Itauma and the long-awaited clash between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

Tony and Peter give their honest verdict on Garcia's two-round demolition of Conor Benn: why it proved Benn had skipped too many levels, and why going to 160 or 168 next would be madness for the British fighter.

Peter also opens up on his pride at Rico Verhoeven's performance in his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, whether he wants him to face Filip Hrgovic next and why anyone stepping into the ring with Verhoeven needs to be ready. He also gives his take on Moses Itauma's defeat to Hrgovic, pad men vs real trainers and what might have happened if Mike Tyson had faced George Foreman in 1990.

Plus, the lads pay tribute to the late Ricky Hatton one year after his death and Peter provides an update on Hughie Fury and the young "phenomenon" he's working with in his gym.
