BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, Podcasts.

And just a note before we start today's show, for logistical reasons we had to record

this week's podcast at the end of last week.

So the news that Tyson Fury has split from his trainer Ben Davison and the wins for Terrence

Crawford, Tioffa Molo Peers and Michael Conlon in New York, will be covered in next week's

show, which will also be a review of the highlights of the Boxing Year 2019.

Thanks for listening.

And the eternal dilemma is, was it Anthony Joshua looking so good or Andy Ruiz Jr. looking

so bad and it seems as like the weight of opinion has come down on Ruiz rather than as

have contacted us but first things first Mike, don't you feel like you've been in rehab

since you landed at Heathrow for 48 hours after the fight?

We haven't been together, we haven't been in a desert, we haven't any dates or any kind
