Taylor's perfect send off, Benn's last dance at 147, AJ Fury back in the UK
About this episode
The episode discusses Katie Taylor's retirement fight, Conor Benn's last match at 147lbs, and the ongoing AJ vs Fury negotiations.
Gareth A Davies is joined by the Managing Ediotr of the Ring Magazine, Tom Gray, to unpack the weekend's action in Dublin as Katie Taylor bid farewell to boxing in front of 83,000 fans at Croke Park in Dublin, giving her the perfect send off. We ask what could be next for her post retirement and who the next big superstar of women's boxing is set to be. Huge fight this weekend, Gareth is in Las Vegas ahead of Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn, ahead of the fight Benn has told the Ring Magazine that this will be the last time he fights at 147lbs and plans to move up all the way to 160/168 after, so what chance does he stand on Saturday if he is so severely weight drained? And it's the saga that everyone is starting to get sick of, but it looks like AJ vs Fury is now back on the cards for the UK after another week of mud slinging in the media, we ask what chance, if any, this fight ever actually goes ahead?
