In this week’s episode we talk to one of the greatest of all boxing writers, Don McRae about his new book and reflect on victories for Harlem Eubank and Lauren Price, who may have ended the careers of Tyrone McKenna and Natasha Jonas.

McRae, in a teaser for an in-depth interview in the bonus podcast, details the process of writing what he believes will be his final boxing book: The Last Bell.

In This Week in History we go back to 1980 and a hectic world lightweight title fight between Jim Watt and Charlie Nash in Glasgow.

The two biggest talking points of the weekend were triggered by the decisions of referees - Steve Willis to deny Lamont Roach a knockdown and Marcus McDonnell to disqualify Paddy Donovan.

But were they right calls? The fights, that saw Lewis Crocker win in bizarre circumstances and Gervonta Davis snatch a draw, are also broken down.

We brace ourselves as the build-up to Chris Eubank Jnr-Conor Benn begins and, in This Week, we go back to 2007 and Kevin Mitchell winning a British humdinger.

Dmitry Bivol gained revenge over Artur Beterbiev following another close and high quality encounter. Did the right man win this time? We also wonder if in fights like these judges should be encouraged to score rounds level if they’re struggling to find favour.

We look at each of the undercard fights in detail with gushing praise for both Callum Smith and Joshua Buatsi in particular.

There’s also time for a look ahead to next weekend when Gervonta Davis takes on Lamont Roach and, in Belfast, Paddy Donovan dukes it out with Lewis Crocker.
