Kalle Sauerland and Tony Bellew on Benn vs Garcia & Why Misfits is Boxing's GUILTY PLEASURE
Fight Your CornerShow Notes
Tony Bellew and Charlie Parsons are joined by Promoter and Misfits Boxing co-president Kalle Sauerland to break down the fight between Conor Benn and Ryan Garcia, to discuss what really happened when Benn's failed drugs test delayed a fight with Chris Eubank Jr and whether Kalle would really match John Fury and Carl Froch.
Tony explains why Garcia could be in a world of trouble against Benn, while Kalle casts doubts about Conor's reputation as a knockout artist.
Kalle gives his take on the fallout after Conor Benn's failed drugs test scotched the original planned fight with Chris Eubank Jr and reveals just how much money his company lost when it was cancelled.
Tony and Kalle argue over the merits of Misfits Boxing: how safe is it for the fighters? Why it's set to make over £100 million and would Kalle pit John Fury against Carl Froch?
Kalle also calls out the lack of accountability for referees and judges in boxing, discusses his fallout with Ben Shalom and recalls the toughest conversation he ever had with a fighter.
