Though not yet formally announced, Ryan Garcia has signalled that a showdown with Conor Benn, at welterweight, will happen in Las Vegas on September 12. It seems certain to be one of the year's biggest and most lucrative contests albeit a divisive one given their chequered pasts with drug-testing agencies. It's set to occur on the same day that Canelo Alvarez returns, in Saudi Arabia, to challenge for a super middleweight belt against Christian Mbilli. Does this mean that Turki Alalshikh is plotting another all-conquering weekend extravaganza? Closer to home, in Doncaster, Dave Allen's place in the heavyweight landscape was again revealed when he was pulled out in three rounds against Filip Hrgovic. The result was predictable, but again brings into focus the role of referees, trainers and doctors when it comes to stopping a fight. In This Week we go back to 1990, a new decade in its infancy and two of the finest fighters of the time – Pernell ‘Sweet Pea' Whittaker and Azumah Nelson – making their cases to be recognised among the leaders of the sport.

Ade Oladipo and Gareth A Davies unpack Saturday night's card in Tottenham where Tyson Fury returned with a win and proceeded to call out Anthony Joshua.We hear from AJ's promoter Eddie Hearn who tells us no fight has been agreed despite what Turki Alalshikh and Tyson Fury have been saying but says he is confident the two fighters will meet in the ring soon.Elsewhere we ask of Conor Benn did enough against Regis Prograis to suggest he can mix it with the best at 147lbs and more importantly if he can make the weight.And we hear from kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven ahead of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk next month! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode #368: This week, the team discusses Tyson Fury's return win on Netflix after a 16 month absence from the ring, Fury's post-fight call-out of Anthony Joshua, The possibility of Fury vs. Joshua happening, Conor Benn's win over Regis Prograis & call-out of Ryan Garcia for a WBC world title shot, Potential venue for a Benn vs. Garcia bout, Benn's Zuffa deal while on Netflix, the recent news of DAZN & TNT Sports partnership, and more.

Tyson Fury returned, beat Arslanbek Makhmudov, then thought all he had to do was shout at ringsider Anthony Joshua to secure his next big fight. But it didn't quite work out like that. Regardless, the Fury of 2026 -though not the Fury of 2020- proved he's still among the sprightliest heavyweights around. The watching AJ, however, wasn't overly impressed. Conor Benn's evening didn't exactly go to plan either. Expected to walk through the war-torn Regis Prograis, Benn was made to work hard to win on points over 10 rounds. It begged the question: Why hasn't Benn knocked anyone out since 2022? Zuffa continue to make moves with the signing of Chris Billam-Smith and last, but not least, we head back to 2004 and a heartbreaking world title defeat for Michael Brodie.

It's a HUGE week on Ringside Reporter as we break down all the latest fight results and boxing news shaking up the sport!

Tyson Fury makes his latest return from retirement on Saturday night with a tough but very winnable match-up against Arslanbek Makhmudov.Back in January 2025, Fury called time on his career for the fifth time after back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk but he's since decided to fight on, and a win over Makhmudov would set him up for either a trilogy meeting with Usyk or a long-awaited tussle with British rival Anthony Joshua – or potentially both.

Has Tyson Fury still got it? Barry Jones joins Buncey to preview the Gypsy King's return after 16 months away. Will it help or hinder? Plus, insight from former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, and a look ahead to the rest of the card, including Conor Benn vs Regis Prograis.

What version of Tyson Fury will turn up this weekend?

Send us Fan MailSkipping a week sounds harmless until you come back and realize boxing never stops moving. We kick things off with a real-life reset: California's laid-back vibe, the gut punch of seeing Skid Row up close, and a Tennessee detour that somehow ends with us getting humbled by “hot chicken” we had no business challenging. Then we do what we came to do and start catching up fast.From there, we dig into Sebastian Fundora vs Keith Thurman for the WBC super welterweight belt, why Thurman looked like a guy fighting uphill from round one, and what inactivity does to timing and legs when you're no longer the young version of yourself. We talk matchups at 154, who actually has the style to trouble Fundora, and why the division feels alive again when the right fights get made.Heavyweights get their shine too. We lay out why Moses Itauma is starting to feel like must-see TV, plus the kind of opponents we want next if promoters are serious about building a star. We also preview Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov, debate the danger of heavyweight power, and break down Regis Prograis vs Conor Benn at 150, including why the weight-class confusion matters for fans trying to track careers.We also touch the week's biggest headlines, including the Tank conversation and what repeated controversy does to a fighter's public trust, then end with future-fight chatter like Teofimo Lopez vs Ryan Garcia at 147.
