Summary

One of the best red top journalists of a generation, Steve Lillis has been in boxing for more than 30 years. He's covered the big nights in Vegas, worked with small hall promoters, been at the cutting edge of old-school breaking news journalism and worked in television for BoxNation. Lillis has enjoyed an incredible career, being close to the likes of Warren and Maloney, covering fights in the US featuring the likes of Larry Holmes and Manny Pacquiao and charting the rise of Ricky Hatton from the earliest of days, he's seen and done it all while not forgetting who the real stars are of the sport, the people we interview. He's also had his own battles away from the ring, which he discusses here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
