Podcast appearances and mentions of Carl Frampton

This week we're delighted to welcome Carl Frampton to the show. Second dive into boxing is long overdue and so much has happened since we last visited the sport. A boxing legend and Ring Magazine ‘Fighter of the Year' in 2016, he was the first Northern Irishman to hold world titles in two weight classes, Carl is recognised as one of the best fighters of his generation. As you may expect, there is far more to him than the success he achieved in the ring. This was also the time for us to understand what the life of a top class fighter looks like, and how the business of the sport works from the athlete's perspective. Saudi involvement has elevated both prize money and fight calibre in recent times, correcting some of the big problems in the sport and making the fights that everyone wants to see actually happen. But this hasn't always been the case, and from the promotion world that can consist of exploitation and mismanagement to the challenge of driving commercial opportunities building the brand of the individual, Carl's story is one of both past and present. Now one of the leading media figures in the sport as well as exploring a number of business ventures including his own whiskey brand, we take a look inside a sport that is re-establishing itself as one of the major assets in global entertainment. Whether a fan of Carl or just fascinated by the boxing industry, this is one you'll enjoy.  On today's show we discuss: Boxing Industry: A Good Place to be? Why is professional boxing considered by Frampton to be a “crooked” and exploitative business? What happened in Carl Frampton's legal dispute with Barry McGuigan, and what does it reveal about fighter vulnerability? Is the real danger in boxing the fights themselves, or the hundreds of rounds of sparring in training camps? What can be done at the coaching level to reduce head trauma and protect fighters? Business of Boxing:  How does a fighter's earning potential evolve from early career to world championship level? What role do management structures play in limiting or enabling endorsement and sponsorship deals? Why did Frampton earn more from sponsorships after leaving his initial management, even without a world title? Why is building a brand now essential for boxers to reach the top commercially? Who are the best and worst examples of fighters whose success (or lack thereof) was defined by branding? Changing World of Boxing: How has Saudi Arabia, and specifically Turki Al-Alshikh, changed the boxing landscape? Why are previously impossible matchups now becoming reality, and how did the Saudi-backed model enable this? Does influencer boxing help or hurt the sport overall? How are fighters like Jake Paul impacting the visibility and pay of other boxers, especially women? Is jealousy among traditional boxers driving backlash against influencer fights? Fighter Psychology & Motivation: How did Frampton's mindset evolve through his career, and did he ever truly enjoy boxing? Why did he set a retirement age early on, and how did that shape his choices in the ring? What motivates fighters to retire and then return and is it often driven by financial pressures? How are fighters like Jake Paul impacting the visibility and pay of other boxers, especially women?

Under boxing legend Barry McGuigan's guidance Carl Frampton won world titles in 2014 and 2016. However, their relationship fell apart in a legal battle over fight profits, leading to a £6 million lawsuit. As McGuigan enters the “I'm a Celebrity” jungle, Ciarán Dunbar is joined by boxing Journalist David Mohan and reporter Niamh Campbell to unpack the rise, fall, and aftermath of the fallout. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The ‘Clones Cyclone' Barry McGuigan wasn't just a world champion fighter, for many he was a symbol of hope and resilience through some of Ireland's toughest years during the Troubles. In recent years though, things have been fraught for McGuigan outside of the ring. He's faced the devastating loss of his daughter Danika in 2019, and an extremely messy legal battle with his former boxing protege Carl Frampton. Nearly 40 years on from the pinnacle of his sporting career, the Irish boxer is now a contestant on this year's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Host: Kevin Doyle. Guest: John Meagher See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's guest is doing things a bit back to front. Mostly boxers will finish their careers before going into the media – but Lurgan man Lee Gormley has done it the other way around. Lee has a degree in sports journalism and has covered the bloody business for outlets such as the Boxing News and Boxing Monthly. That passion for boxing ultimately led to him putting on the gloves as an amateur – and now he's about to have his fifth professional fight. Bolton-based Lee's back out on November 9 at the Sunderland Live Arena as he looks to build towards BUI Celtic and Irish title shots. Here, he tells The Rocky Road about the fighters that inspired him, why Carl Frampton is a hero of his and how boxing for real informs his work as a journalist in the field. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Steve Bunce has spent 40 years writing and talking about boxing for just about every newspaper and magazine in Britain – and just about every TV and radio station as well. In his career he's reported at ringside in over 30 countries and rubbed shoulders with hustlers and hoodlums, kings and clowns, journeymen and Hall of Fame fighters. To use one of my favourite lines of his, that's boxing, as they say in the trade. Steve's new book, Around the World in 80 Fights, follows on from Bunce's Big Fat Short History of British Boxing. We go through it all here, charting the crazy journey women's boxing made in his time from the likes of Deirdre Gogarty and Jane Couch starting out to Katie Taylor headlining at Madison Square Garden against Amanda Serrano, a Kiko Martinez love-in in Belfast as he returned to reminisce ten years on from his world title fight with Carl Frampton, and a cheeky text from Kenneth Egan that ensured he got the armband on an all-Irish boxing football team. There's his legendary showdown with a raging Bernard Hopkins, a discussion of how the media landscape has shifted massively during his four decades in the business, memories of his dalliances with the hardmen of Russia and a poignant story about the late Gary Mason where there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Like his book, this interview has got a bit of everything. Here's to a few sequels. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Part 2 with Ryan Burnett, he's a man on the brink. After years of hard work, bordering on obsessiveness, he's about to reach the pinnacle. But winning the world title doesn't give him contentment because it doesn't give him financial freedom; not yet anyway. Here, he talks about becoming world champion with victory over Lee Haskins back in Belfast, where sparring partner Carl Frampton has built an empire. He unifies against Kazakhstan's Zhanat Zhakiyanov - with his former mentor Ricky Hatton now in his opponent's corner - and he's on his way. But the payout doesn't come without a price, as Ryan is brought to hospital after suffering for his triumph. Becoming a champion hasn't dimmed his desire - upon his return to camp, he's instantly beating his pre-fight times in the hill sprints, which gives him a new nickname but, as he believes, the effort nearly kills him. HIs entry into the World Boxing Super Series looks like it's going to lead to an ultimate clash with Japan's Naoya Inoue. But in a set-up showdown with Nonito Donaire, Ryan suffers what ends up being a career-ending back injury. Asked to describe the pain he feels when trying to fight on against the Filipino star, his answer makes me sick to my stomach. At 27, his career as a boxer is over and while there may be regrets and what-ifs, he's a boxing success story - coming out healthy in the knowledge he'll be able to play with his kids when they come along. Now, after being able to buy his house and start a business, he's been bitten by the boxing bug again. And, as he explains, the obsession has started all over again... Ryan Burnett's is the ultimate Rocky Road story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Carl Frampton joins Buncey to discuss where the fight will be won and lost. They take a deep delve into the mindset of both fighters and the importance of their respective teams.

Jamie and Scott countdown to the huge Riyadh Season Card at Wembley Stadium with an array of guests including Carl Frampton who takes on our quiz and talks Cacace vs Warrington, Ishmael Davis talks all things Josh Kelly and how the late notice call up came about, Ariel Helwani reviews Canelo's fight with Edgar Berlanga, the UFC at The Sphere plus why Anthony Joshua is one of his favourite athletes and Steve Bunce promotes his new book!

Anto Cacace is the feel-good story of Irish pro boxing this year. Or any other year to be fair. He's always had class but Cacace has never had much luck, with every step forward followed by the inevitable three steps back. Until now. His victory over the undefeated Joe Cordina in Riyadh in May was an unforgettable moment for Cacace and his supporters everywhere. We believe it was one of the most electrifying performances any Irish boxer has put in for a very long time. This is Cacace's third time on The Rocky Road and after hearing about the struggles he's endured in the last two, the hat-trick episode is more of a celebration. We rewatch the highlights video with Anto, and the clips of fellow Belfast man, former sparring partner and big supporter Carl Frampton, going nuts in the venue while working for TNT Sports. We talk about how life has changed since capturing the belt, his incredible homecoming in Andytown and the mural that's sprung up across the road from his mother's house - with Anto, of course, delivering McDonalds down to the painters while they daubed him all over the walls. Of course, there's still serious business ahead - as Cacace defends his belt against Josh Warrington at Wembley on September 21. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Carl Frampton joins Buncey at a café in Paris, where they delve into the controversy involving two female boxers whose gender has been questioned by the International Boxing Association.

Treating people as you want to be treated with boxing legend Carl Frampton, Northern Ireland's first two weight World Champion. Carl grew up in Belfast, in the loyalist area of Tigers Bay. The next housing estate across was the New Lodge which was Republican. As a child, he witnessed tension and traumatising scenes. Carl is a very humble and level headed guy, and he takes pride in uniting people, wherever they're from, and whatever they believe. Beyond superficial differences - he is keen to emphasise we are all the same and that developing peace is possibleMy debut book - Champion Thinking: How to find success without losing yourself - is available for pre-order now.

In our first episode for over a year we take a helicopter view of Irish boxers and boxing and ask some questions that many are asking. IS there a reason for the recent downturn in performances and results? Is it a coaching issue? Style issue? Or are Irish boxers not as good as many believe them to be?We also take a look at the fractured chasm that opened up between two greats of Irish boxing. Barry McGuigan/s career in the ring is well documented. He gave a glimmer of hope to a divided island in troubled times when there was little hope. Many years later he would be the man at the helm as Carl Frampton delivered European and world titles in different weight divisions. In this episode we look a little closer and ask "Where did it all go wrong?"Hugh Russell won bronze medals at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Canada and at the Olympic Games in Moscow 1980 then went on to have renowned careers as a professional boxer and press photographer. IN the week he was laid to rest, we paid tribute and remember an Irish boxing legend. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Carl Frampton joins Steve to look back at Joe Joyce's first loss as a professional. The referee stopped his fight against Zhilei Zhang in the 6th round at the Copper Box when Joyce's right eye closed shut. We hear from Joyce, discuss where it went wrong and ask where he goes from here. Plus, Steve took the pod to York Hall on Friday night to watch Tysie Gallagher beat Lisa Whiteside to become the new Commonwealth Super Bantamweight Champion. He hears from both boxers.

Cromer's former British featherweight champion was unlucky not to win the European title when he challenged for it on away soil. He's fought the likes of Lee Selby, James Tennyson, Maxi Hughes and missed out on clashes with Carl Frampton, Josh Warrington and others. He's one of three fighting siblings from Norwich and the same Graham Everett gym that spawned the likes of Herbie Hide, Jon Thaxton and Sam Sexton. Walsh is a great talker and has immense knowledge of boxing as a student of the game and remains intensely passionate about it, even in the twilight of his boxing days.

Nigel Travis has done it all in boxing. He's best known now as Jamie Moore's No. 2 – assistant trainer – but he was a good amateur who left it too late to make it in the pros. As well as being a full-time firefighter, he's a part-time actor who has appeared on shows including Peaky Blinders, and he comes from boxing stock and a father who has been involved in the development of Britain's top amateurs for years. Alongside Moore, Nigel's worked with Rocky Fielding, Carl Frampton, Chantelle Cameron, Tommy Coyle and many more.
