Fight Night Boxing Podcast

Welcome to the Fight Night Podcast with me, Andy Clarke, alongside former European champion Spencer Oliver. This week, it's our Fight Night Boxing 2025 Awards, as we look back on the biggest moments, the standout performances, and the fights that defined a memorable year in the sport. We kick things off with the biggest debate of all - Fighter of the Year. Does the crown belong to Terence Crawford? Oleksandr Usyk? Or is there another name that deserves top spot? Next up, it's Knockout of the Year, celebrating the jaw-dropping finishes that reminded us exactly why boxing always delivers drama. Then we turn our attention to Fight of the Year. From Conor Benn vs Chris Eubank Jr to Artur Beterbiev against Dmitry Bivol, 2025 gave us some absolute classics - but which bout stands above the rest?After that, we zoom out to the bigger picture. Joined by Spencer Oliver and Owen, the Boxing Fan, we debate the state of the sport. Does boxing need to change with the times, or should tradition always come first? And finally, we take a moment to pay tribute to some of the great names the boxing world sadly lost this year.That's all for this edition of the Fight Night Podcast with me, Andy Clarke, and Spencer Oliver.
