Eddie Hearn on Joshua vs Fury in the UK, Eubank vs Benn 3 & Dana White War
Tony Bellew and Charlie Parsons sit down with Eddie Hearn for his biggest interview yet on Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury. Hearn explains why AJ turned down more money to leave the US behind and bring the fight to the UK in front of 80,000 British fans, and lifts the lid on the venue war, potential press conference mind games and why he thinks AJ will beat Fury. Hearn also goes to war on Dana White and Zuffa / TKO, explaining why they have no promotional rights to AJ vs Fury, and how he believes they tried to rob the British public of the fight. They also discuss whether we will see Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn for a third time. Hearn discusses his recent lunch with Eubank Jr, the hydration clauses that decided Benn vs Eubank 2, what he'd demand at 168lbs, and why a Hearn vs Dana White split promotion would make the trilogy twice as big. Finally, Eddie gives his real thoughts on Tony and Charlie, the best fight he ever promoted and who he thinks would have won a fight in their prime between Sugar Ray Leonard and Pernell Whitaker. ───────────────────────────── 🏆 LINKS Fight Your Corner is brought to you by Midnite, the betting app that's built different: https://www.midnite.com/ 18+, please gamble responsibly. ───────────────────────────── 📑CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to Fight Your Corner  01:51 Anthony Joshua v Tyson Fury: AJ wanted it in the UK  09:35 ”Fury is FEARFUL of Anthony Joshua”  10:15 How will the fight actually go?  16:00 AJ wants to win it more than Fury  19:33 “Dana White can’t be involved in this fight” 28:25 Is Dana White good for boxing?  34:03 Call Them Out: Eddie HAMMERS Charlie  35:57 Boxing’s future: where are the next stars?  37:27 Benn vs Eubank Jr 3: “Conor needs Eubank”  41:50 "It's MAD what fighters are doing": Boxing's weight problem 47:25 Midnite Ultimate Prediction: Sugar Ray Leonard v Pernell Whitaker  49:40 Quickfire Questions: Tom Aspinall’s future & Eddie’s dream fight ───────────────────────────── 📲 FOLLOW FIGHT YOUR CORNER YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Fightyourcorner?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Pssuxz511vDGxEdrEF1a5?si=7f9e95418a7441f0 IG: https://www.instagram.com/fightyourcornerpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fightyourcornerpod Linktree: https://linktr.ee/fightyourcorner Learn more about your ad choices.

Peter Fury on Ryan Garcia's Win over Conor Benn, AJ vs Tyson Fury & Rico Verhoeven
Peter Fury joins Tony Bellew and Charlie Parsons on Fight Your Corner for a must-watch episode on Conor Benn's loss to Ryan Garcia, Rico Verhoeven, Moses Itauma and the long-awaited clash between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Tony and Peter give their honest verdict on Garcia's two-round demolition of Conor Benn: why it proved Benn had skipped too many levels, and why going to 160 or 168 next would be madness for the British fighter. Peter also opens up on his pride at Rico Verhoeven's performance in his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, whether he wants him to face Filip Hrgovic next and why anyone stepping into the ring with Verhoeven needs to be ready. He also gives his take on Moses Itauma's defeat to Hrgovic, pad men vs real trainers and what might have happened if Mike Tyson had faced George Foreman in 1990. Plus, the lads pay tribute to the late Ricky Hatton one year after his death and Peter provides an update on Hughie Fury and the young "phenomenon" he's working with in his gym. ───────────────────────────── 🏆 LINKS Fight Your Corner is brought to you by Midnite, the betting app that's built different: https://www.midnite.com/ 18+, please gamble responsibly. ───────────────────────────── 📑CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to Fight Your Corner 01:12 Hello Peter Fury 02:05 Why Peter Fury WASN’T Angry About Usyk Win 04:00 Conor Benn vs Ryan Garcia: Was Benn out of his depth? 10:10 Conor Benn can’t go to 160 or 168: so what next? 19:43 Ryan Garcia: Is he REALLY an elite fighter? 24:30 Peter Fury: Pad men are absolute bullshit 28:08 Peter Fury: Pride in Rico Verhoeven vs Usyk and Hrgovic Next? 35:15 Moses Itauma: Fight IQ, gassing & Ben Davison debate 43:57 Call Them Out: What MOST annoys Peter about boxing? 46:40 AJ vs Tyson Fury: Cardiff Fight + Tyson's Prime 52:20 “AJ’s Best Ever Chance to Beat Tyson Fury” 56:10 Midnite Ultimate Prediction: Mike Tyson vs George Foreman 59:40 Remembering Ricky Hatton 1:04:53 Hughie Fury Update + The “Phenomenon” Kraus ───────────────────────────── 📲 FOLLOW FIGHT YOUR CORNER YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Fightyourcorner?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Pssuxz511vDGxEdrEF1a5?si=049d006eac544200 IG: https://www.instagram.com/fightyourcornerpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fightyourcornerpod Linktree: https://linktr.ee/fightyourcorner Learn more about your ad choices.

Kalle Sauerland and Tony Bellew on Benn vs Garcia & Why Misfits is Boxing's GUILTY PLEASURE
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. ───────────────────────────── 🏆 LINKS Fight Your Corner is brought to you by Midnite, the betting app that's built different: https://www.midnite.com/ 18+, please gamble responsibly. ───────────────────────────── 📑CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to Fight Your Corner  00:57 Hello Kalle Sauerland  02:15 Tony Bellew the Misfits judge - "You're going back to the circus"   03:00 Kalle on why Misfits works  04:21 Conor Benn vs Ryan Garcia PREVIEW: “Conor’s done the weight right”  06:46 Bellew's verdict on the fight  11:17 Kalle: “Benn’s not a knockout specialist"   12:50 Why Conor Benn & Chris Eubank Jr deserve respect  15:53 Arthur Abraham: From sparring partner to world champion   19:30 Midnite Ultimate Prediction: Andre Ward v Joe Calzaghe  24:40 Kalle on when Eubank vs Benn collapsed + Losing $1m+  30:50 Kalle: boxing needs more accountability   34:40 Misfits Boxing: Googling fighters & Big Stacks’ Boasts  38:43 How safe is Misfits?  44:50 John Fury vs Carl Froch and why Misfit’s is “boxing’s dirty mistress”  49:32 Is Darren Till v John Fury Possible?  51:21 Kalle on Ben Shalom fallout  57:17 Call Them Out: Bad decisions are killing boxing   1:01:08 Quick Fire: Toughest negotiators and hardest chat with a fighter ───────────────────────────── 📲 FOLLOW FIGHT YOUR CORNER https://www.youtube.com/@Fightyourcorner?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Pssuxz511vDGxEdrEF1a5?si=f7ef1d21bbad45ca IG: https://www.instagram.com/fightyourcornerpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fightyourcornerpod Linktree: https://linktr.ee/fightyourcorner Learn more about your ad choices.

Tony Bellew & Steve Bunce’s BRUTAL WARNING For Moses Itauma & Is Fury-AJ Becoming Boring?
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.

John addresses the ongoing war of words with Carl Froch, explains how the rivalry started, reveals whether he genuinely wants the fight to happen and gives his honest assessment of "The Cobra". He also opens up on whether his own family want him stepping into the ring at this stage of his life.

Tom Aspinall EXPOSES Dana White Snub & PLEADS For Francis Ngannou Fight
The UFC heavyweight champion is back on Fight Your Corner. Tom Aspinall joins Tony Bellew and Charlie Parsons for another unmissable episode. Tony is left stunned after discovering Tom hasn't been invited to attend the UFC's White House card, despite fighters competing for the interim heavyweight title and a future shot at the championship. The conversation then turns to one of the biggest debates in combat sports: is boxing actually more dangerous than MMA? Drawing on their own experiences inside the ring and cage, they break down the long-term effects of head trauma, stoppages and the realities of competing at the highest level. The guys also discuss Jon Jones, whether Tom fancies facing Francis Ngannou and the crossover appeal of boxing and MMA, with Tom explaining why his focus remains firmly on building his UFC legacy rather than chasing the biggest paydays, and why Georges St-Pierre remains his greatest inspiration. Tom also reflects on his incredible rise through mixed martial arts, revealing how different the sport was when he first started training, travelling across the country in search of coaches and sparring partners long before MMA became mainstream in the UK. He also shares stories from his journey, including training with elite wrestlers, sparring some of boxing's biggest names and working with Rico Verhoeven.

Meanwhile, Tony goes in on the pay UFC fighters receive and argues that combat sports stars deserve far more money.

Carl Froch & Tony Bellew CLASH over Anthony Joshua v Tyson Fury
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.
