Summary

Barry Jones joins Buncey to unpack a dramatic weekend of action, as Fabio Wardley delivered a one-punch knockout to stop Justis Huni in a controversial 10th-round finish in Ipswich, while in Barnsley, Callum Simpson stopped Ivan Zucco in the 10th after being dropped twice. We hear from Wardley and Huni’s promoter Eddie Hearn. And Buncey chats to Ben Shalom about Simpson’s win and what the future holds for Boxxer as their broadcast deal with Sky has expired. Plus, we pay tribute to legendary trainer James Cook, who passed away at the weekend.
