Had planned to do a completely different episode, but this one took on a life of it's own. How can channels that were doing 1m plus views just six months ago be struggling to break 20k views now, especially when people have more time than ever to consume content. Everybody is seeing a growth in numbers, in contrast, the boxing outlets have seen a crash in numbers, with the same cast of characters to interview. It is only right to ask where the hell the numbers went and how the sponsors will reac...

We had to do a reunion episode at some point, so we hit the off licence, sent Johnny Fleshlight to UKAD for some unscastrated boar, and just slipped into the old slippers. Audio is a bit rickety, but these are tough times, so we have to take what we can - like toilet paper.As always, like share and let us know what you think.

We are all getting cabin fever. Some of us have loo roll, some of us have coffee, some of us have both. Luckily, I have cider - Weston's - a drink to relax the mid. This episode is just me commenting on what the folks in boxing are saying. There's not much going on. But, there are a few Hearn misdirections, as always. But...I do like the guy deep down.

Today, we rank the best heavyweights on earth. Some will agree and some will disagree, but it's a good debate. We also discuss how bad Jay Deas was as a trainer. Mark Breland deserves a lot of respect for being a real BMF in that fight and doing the right thing. Finally, we talk about the car crash that is March 28th.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Well...heavy is the man that wins the crown. Fury was masterful, showed that there is no substitute for experience, and that power is only good if it lands. The man sent a message out to the boxing world on Saturday - work on your skills and you can do anything. Instagram - @highfieldboxing Twitter - @highfieldboxing

Ares, always hot tempered and eager to fight, was worshiped by militaristic cults and city states, while on the other hand, Athena was revered as a goddess of protection and strategy. Between the violent temper of Ares and the intelligent cunning of Athena, worshipers of these Gods would think low of their rival. While followers of the cult of Ares viewed Athenians as weak, cowardly children, Athenians would think of Ares' followers as ignorant, hotheaded lowlifes. Not soon after Athena's awkwar...

Ellie Scotney are two boxers with different stories, but with a shred desire to make 2020 the year boxing takes notice. Being involved in boxing for a number of years, these are the stories that make the effort worthwhile. Both boxers have a great opportunity to build a truly great legacy for themselves. The journey starts now... Ellie Scotney - @elliescotney_ Isaac chamberlain - @chamberlain_

When friends fight, it should be for the largest purse possible. A lot is on the line in these situations. You can only hope MTK know what they are doing here or they risk damaging one very gifted boxer at the expense of another. Changing trainers is often the easy way out, a way to deny your own failings. Sometimes, it is needed…you get to correct the error in selecting the trainer. But, in the case of Josh Taylor and even Anthony Fowler, only time will tell. We need to know, does Fury still be...

Most boxing fans agree that 2017 was a special year. Why? That is harder to say. It may have been the quality of fights. On the other hand, it could have been the scale of the events. Whichever way you look at it, 2017 gave every boxing fan what they wanted. It also scared the life out of every promoter as they watched profit drain away through the sheer volume of great fights on free-to-air television. Instead of embracing this bold new era, we have seen boxing retreat to it old ways. Fights ar...

HAPPY NEEW YEAR!!!!! Pod-rust is real. That feeling of not quite being on the ball? I think I have it. This episode hopefully sees me shake it off and come into 2020 stronger. This is just a warm up episode and in it we cover two topics: The tragic case of Liam Cameron and how it has created a two-tier doping framework depending on how much money you have and A quick look at DAZN and whether it has a hope of succeeding. In all honesty, it should succeed. It has raised the bar in boxing coverage ...

Terence Crawford is the most gifted Welterweight out there, but not the best. To be the best you need to face the best. Will we get the big fights in 2020? Can he and bob Arum make it happen? Teofimo Lopez...WOW!!! Instagram @highfieldboxing Twitter @highfieldboxing

A long time ago, I left a boxing club, for whatever reasons. Wehn I made that choice. a handful of guys (maybe a bit more) also decided to leave. One of the first was Jonathan Palata. His exact words were, "if you're not here, I'm not here." If you know boxing well enough, you'll understand that sort of loyalty is rare. It means we are bonded for life now. Win lose or draw, I will always stand behind him, because he stands behind me. It also means that, when he does encounter bumps in the road, ...

Boxing needs Anthony Joshua. The economics of the sport need that marquee name, like Hulk Hogan in the 1980s. People like to work with people that draw money. AJ draws money. Now...Andy Ruiz? Not the same kettle of fish and the last 6 months proved that.

This Saturday, we will find out who really put the work in over the last three months. A lot of games are underway between both camps and with the fans, so we all want to know....who wins? We won't know until that first bell rings, but looking at the last few weeks, Ruiz has done some things that are either genius or folly. Only history will determine which is which. Lets hope for as much drama as we had in the first fight.

It's fight week, spin and misdirection everywhere. If you believe the hype this fight is between two undefeated champions. If you believe the hype, there are no drug cheats on this card. I am sure it will only get sillier. Instagram @highfieldboxing Twitter @highfieldboxing

Here's a young man that's crammed a whole career worth of stories into a youthful 25 years. One thing Isaac Chamberlain has in abundance is resilience. Nothing will stop him achieving his goals and his ability to create positives from negatives is a lesson to us all. Enjoy the podcast, one man sharing his career with you, and hopefully it adds another dimension to the real People's Champion.

We are 10 days away from the moment of truth. Where we find out of a manufactured boxer can beat a well-schooled boxer. Was Ruiz just lucky or was all he needed a chance? Has Joshua done enough? Has he exorcised the demons? Are we in store for a great rebound or is this just another step down for Joshua? Truth is, we just don't know.

It is hard to understand how two brothers of average ability managed to get so many fights at home. People tried to liken them to The Beatles, they're probably more like Atomic Kitten.

When you have the biggest guns and the biggest bombs, you don't need to rush. Deontay Wilder gave Luis Ortiz a 6-round head start and it didn't help him. It has to be scary that there is a man that can stop anybody he connects with. I don't think anybody is looking forward to fighting him. How do you figure out how something works when they burned the operating manual?

The biggest battle Anthony Joshua will face is silencing the voices and the images that remind him that, at the highest level, he was dismantled. It's not fatal to his chances, but he does risk a relapse if he isn't right mentally. His camp so far, offers no sign of his road to redemption, but we can only hope he is the man that can do the same thing and get a different outcome.
