BBC Sounds, Music, Radio Podcasts.

Hello, you're about to listen to a BBC podcast, and I'm Ed Gamble, host of another BBC podcast, The Traitors Uncloaked.

But my show is available only on BBC Sounds, just like Ellis and John's Saturday bonus episodes,

The Pop Top Ten podcast with Scott Mills and Rylan, and comedy specials

from the likes of Harriet Kemsley, Susie Ruffle and Rommashranganathan.

However, and maybe I'm biased, it's really all about the traitors uncoaked.

So for a whole bunch of exclusive scoops and podcasts, listen only on BBC Sounds.

This is Five Live Boxing.

On Saturday night in Newcastle and New York, there are five world title fights.

Josh Kelly fights background Murtazalev in New York,

and Shakur Stevenson and Tiafimo Lopez fight in Madison Square Garden in New York,

the garden, the big house.

And that, by the way, is an American super fight.

Obviously, I opted for New Castle to be part of Five Lives Commentary Team

with Josh Taylor live from 9pm on Saturday night.

I'm Steve Bunce, and this is Five Live Boxing.

I want to start my show, if you like, in Newcastle with Frank Smith from Match Room.

Now, Frank, I happen to know that you've only just landed from New York where you can actually report, if I'm not mistaken, just how

cold it was there. Oh, I've never been so cold in my life. I don't think I dressed appropriately

for it, but yeah, I mean, I'm glad to be in Newcast. Did you have been Miami kit on? I did. I had a few

linen shirts, a few linen trousers. Six linen shirts. And a couple of pairs of gloves.

Lovely. I want to ask you a little bit about Shakir and that fight on the weekend, because obviously Eddie Hurons there, you're here. But I want to plough straight on with this. I want to play a little theme that I heard you're talking about earlier on, that if Josh was to win, having already had Dalton win, and if Hamo Williams wins his battle Madison Square Guard that means you could have three world champions from debut to title in one month that's going some in there it is it is but this is the sport we're in it's about investment it's about believing in fighters and developing them in the right way you know Dorton Smithton Smith, what a night that was in New York. I'm envious. I'm really envious. I have said it was probably one of the best nights I've had in boxing. So, yeah, coming off the back of that for Josh Kelly, look, Josh Kelly has got a real test, but just like Dalton did with Subaru and Matias. Yeah, yeah. These are two proper fights where they've been given real tests. It's not an interim champion going up and getting elevated.
