Summary

With the current outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic the Pound for Pound team are keen to still publish a weekly show, especially if we all find ourselves self-isolating and have finished watching all the Boxing Gold's on Sky Sports Catch Up.
On this weeks show we have the brilliant Chris Wild. Chris has an amazing story that culminated in him writing the book, Damaged, which chronicled heartbreaking stories around Britain's child care system. Chris used boxing as an avenue to help turn his life around and continues to campaign and do everything he can to make the system a much safer place. This is an interview like no other we’ve had on the show.

We hope everyone stays safe in these uncertain times and hopefully a weekly show can give everyone a bit of an escape from any challenges the pandemic is bringing them.
