Tony Bellew & Steve Bunce’s BRUTAL WARNING For Moses Itauma & Is Fury-AJ Becoming Boring?
Fight Your CornerShow Notes
Tony Bellew and Charlie Parsons are joined by boxing writer and broadcaster Steve Bunce for a huge episode of Fight Your Corner.
Buncey brings his trademark opinions, stories and boxing knowledge as the trio debate one of the biggest fights of the year: Moses Itauma vs Filip Hrgović. Is Itauma ready for the biggest test of his career? Is the fight coming too soon? And can Hrgović cause a huge upset? Tony and Buncey go head-to-head over Itauma's chances, and discuss what Itauma needs to learn from a long fight.
They also debate whether today's fighters are really fitter than the greats of previous generations, and Tony is dismissive of the impact of modern sports science on boxing.
The boys also question what is happening with Anthony Joshua's fight with Tyson Fury. Are people beginning to get bored of the whole thing? They also assess Conor Benn's chances against Ryan Garcia next month and debate who would win a fight between a prime Roberto Duran and a prime Floyd Mayweather Jr. We also learn the reason why Tony didn't speak to Steve for 5 years.
Plus, Steve recalls some of the greatest nights he's witnessed at ringside, including a memorable night at the Azteca alongside Mr T, before revealing his boxing bugbear in this week's Call Them Out.
