Summary

Barry Jones and Steve spend the afternoon at Joe Cordina’s gym in Essex ahead of his big fight this weekend. They chat to him about the injury that led to him being stripped of his IBF super-featherweight title last year and how the whole situation left him pondering his future. Back fit again, and fighting this weekend against Shavkat Rakhimov for his old belt in his hometown of Cardiff, he explains why he feels he will have the better of his opponent. Plus, his trainer Tony Sims is also on the pod and he and Steve take a trip down memory lane.
