Hello and welcome to toe to Toa, boxing podcast exclusive to Sky Sports. I'm Andy Scott. And for the first part of today's podcast, I'm joined by former World Title Challenger Matthew Mac. Hello, Matt. How you doing, Anthony? Yeah, really well. Thank you. If we do descend into complete and utter farce, neither Matt or I sleep on these trips.
