Show Notes
Welcome to Fight Your Corner, in partnership with Midnite - the betting app that’s built different.
Hosted by former world champion Tony Bellew and top broadcaster Charlie Parsons, this episode sees them joined by former world super-middleweight king Carl Froch for a heavyweight deep dive packed with sharp takes and proper debate.
They kick things off with Tyson Fury’s comeback points win over Arslanbek Makhmudov but is the Gypsy King still the same force he once was? Tony explains why he believes the old Fury would’ve got the stoppage, before the panel turn to the blockbuster everyone wants: Fury v Anthony Joshua. Is it still THE fight, even without a world title on the line?
There’s no ducking the big questions around AJ: his popularity, his mentality, and whether the “scars of battle” have taken something away. Tony makes the case for why he’d beat Daniel Dubois eight times out of ten, and the lads debate whether a bout with Kristian Prenga is the right kind of prep for Fury. Plus, does the shadow of those defeats to Oleksandr Usyk still linger in AJ's mind?
Tony and Carl break down this weekend's clash between Fabio Wardley and Dubois: why the first four rounds could decide everything, and whether Dubois’ heart is still a valid question. They also debate whether Moses Itauma is already Britain’s number one heavyweight, if Jermaine Franklin was the right test, and what is the biggest question mark still hanging over his head.
