Fight Your CornerShow Notes
Former undisputed light-welterweight world champion Josh Taylor joins Tony Bellew and Charlie Parsons for a huge episode of Fight Your Corner.
The team react to a dramatic weekend in heavyweight boxing after Anthony Joshua survived a huge scare against Kristian Prenga, having been dropped twice in the opening round before battling back to win. They debate whether AJ’s punch resistance has gone, respond to Simon Jordan’s questions over Prenga’s dramatic change in approach after the opening round, and explain why they believe any long-awaited showdown between Joshua and Tyson Fury simply has to take place in the UK.
Josh also reflects on his remarkable career, opening up about the heartbreak that fuelled his rise to becoming Britain’s first four-belt undisputed world champion, the challenges he faced after reaching the summit of the sport, and the realities of life after boxing.
Elsewhere, the panel debate Conor Benn’s chances against WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia after Josh previously labelled Benn as only “British level”, before settling another Built Different Bouts debate as they decide who wins in their prime: Amir Khan or Ricky Hatton?
