5 Live Boxing with Steve Bunce

Rob McCracken, the performance director of GB Boxing, joins Buncey for this Olympics special. With only six GB boxers competing in Paris next week, they discuss the challenges of qualifying and the lessons learned from this campaign. They also hear from gold medal prospects Delicious Orie and Rosie Eccles, and talk about the other four boxers who make up the team.

Buncey is joined on stage by Natasha Jonas and Callum Smith as the tour lands in Liverpool. They discuss the highs and lows of their career, how they both have more to achieve in the ring and take questions from the audience.

Buncey sits down with former Olympic champion Audley Harrison. At the Sydney Olympics in 2000, he won Britain’s first ever super-heavyweight gold and their first in the ring for 32 years. He talks Buncey through his journey from a young and hungry novice to standing on the top step of the podium. They discuss how that moment led to improved funding and laid the foundations for the state-of-the-art set-up which has since produced seven more gold medals in the ring for Team GB. He also recalls how being asked to shave his beard was instrumental in him winning that gold.

WBC World Champion Skye Nicolson is Buncey’s guest this week. The pair chat about how she ended up in a gym in South-East London, why she thinks Amanda Serrano is ducking her and whether she can turn her dream of becoming undisputed into a reality. We also hear from her trainer Eddie Lam.

Stacey Copeland sits in for Buncey and takes the pod to the new Co-op Live arena in Manchester. She's at the launch press conference for the fight between Jack Catterall and Regis Prograis. We hear from both fighters, as well as promoter Eddie Hearn and Jack’s trainer Jamie Moore. Rhiannon Dixon is also on the pod as she's defending her world title against fellow Brit Terri Harper.

British heavyweight Johnny Fisher is Buncey's guest this week. The “Romford Bull” fights Alen Babic at the Copperbox on Saturday night and along with trainer Mark Tibbs, they sit down for an all-encompassing chat. From a chance meeting with a former US Navy SEAL to sparring with Tyson Fury, they chat about his progression from amateur boxer to one of the biggest ticket sellers in the game.

Barry Jones joins Buncey as Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois face-off for the first time. The pair are due to fight at Wembley in September for Dubois’ IBF heavyweight belt. We hear from both fighters and their respective promoters Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn. They also cast their eye over the undercard.

Barry Jones joins Buncey to reflect on a big weekend of fights and announcements. With confirmation that Jack Catterall will fight Regis Prograis in August, we hear from promoter Eddie Hearn. Ben Shalom is also on the pod as his fighter Tyler Denny beats Matchroom’s Felix Cash. And did we witness the fight of the year on Saturday night?

Plus, we look ahead to a huge night in Phoenix this weekend as Juan Estrada and Jesse Rodriguez fight for the WBC and Ring Magazine super flyweight world titles.

Barry Jones and Buncey react to Chris Billam-Smith retaining his world title. The pair are backstage at Selhurst Park and speak to both CBS and Richard Riakporhe. They also chat with promoter Ben Shalom and trainer Shane McGuigan about what's next for the man from Bournemouth.
