Summary

Did Daniel Dubois’ defeat to Oleksandr Usyk have more to do with what happened before the fight than during it? Buncey and Barry Jones unpack the fallout from that dramatic night, including talk of a party at Dubois’ house just hours before the bout. They explore what’s next for both fighters and whether Joseph Parker deserves a shot, despite Turki Alalshikh pouring cold water on the idea. Plus, they pay tribute to former undisputed champion Josh Taylor, who announced his retirement last week.

great Portland Street. And we're Barry Jones to look back on the weekend, but also what we call a shopping list, where we go through half a dozen topics. When we feel like we've done enough, we'll call it a day. Barry, first of all, I didn't make it down to Bournemouth at the weekend, and I'm really annoyed because I've seen most of Ryan Garner's fights and probably about 15 of Reese Bellotti's fights. British Super Featherweight title. Finished in the 12th round. Bellotti was the loser. Garner was the winner. You were there working for Dizome. And we know that venue. It can be an unbelievable venue. We've been there for Chris Bill and Smith. What was it like? Yeah, it was that. The atmosphere was fantastic.
