Summary

What is Oleksandr Usyk really like behind the scenes? Carl Frampton joins Buncey at the press conference to get unique insight from those who know the Ukrainian champion best. Long-time corner man Russ Anber shares stories from his years working as Usyk’s trainer, cutman and hand-wrapper, while Ukrainian commentator Volodymyr Kobelkov, who’s known Usyk for two decades, offers a personal perspective. Joseph Parker also drops by with an update on his own future and how he sees the fight playing out. Plus, DAZN’s Michael Ridout makes his pod debut to answer the big questions: is pay-per-view really dead and is Eubank-Benn 2 off?
