  • END OF AN ERA?

    END OF AN ERA?
    Sep 26 2024

    There was shock and awe in the air at Wembley Stadium as Daniel Debois demolished Anthony Joshua to continue his stunning career turnaround.


    What does this mean for Joshua, at 34 years old? Can he possibly come back? And is Dubois really as dangerous as he looked?


    In This Week we focus on another heavyweight thrashing as we go back to 1962 and the violent coronation of Sonny Liston.

  • Joshua vs Dubois: Who wins?

    Joshua vs Dubois: Who wins?
    Sep 18 2024

    It’s fight week in London where Daniel Dubois prepares to take on Anthony Joshua in a titanic heavyweight encounter at Wembley Stadium.


    Alex Steedman has gone missing so Darren Rees steps into the presenter hot seat and, alongside Matt Christie, examines the huge British bill that also features a fight that won’t have an IBF title involved.


    We hear from Robert Smith, who explains what the Saudi revolution has done for British boxing and the Board.


    Also, the recent effort of Canelo Alvarez - as the went 12 rounds again, this time against Edgar Berlanga - is under review. How much time does the Mexican superstar have left? Hopefully less than The Opening Bell. Please support us at Patreon to help keep your favourite podcast going!

  • BOXING’S BEST…. EVENTS (BONUS)

    BOXING’S BEST…. EVENTS (BONUS)
    Sep 14 2024

    Your good friends at The Opening Bell are delighted to present our new weekly series - ‘Boxing’s Best’ - where, every Saturday morning, we focus on a specific subject within boxing and reveal our own Top 10 favourites. This week, and trust us - it’s a good ‘un, we attempt to name the best boxing events.


    There are eye-witness accounts of what it was like to attend the first Frazier-Ali showdown, memories of weeping with utter joy at weigh-ins and the frustration of being sent to the nosebleed seats – alongside some history lessons and behind-the-scenes tales that you will not have heard before.


    As always, please leave feedback, get active on socials and spread the word about what we’re trying to achieve here at The Opening Bell. And never forget, dear Patreons, we love you!
