The lightweight division takes center stage this week as William Zepeda and Lamont Roach Jr. battle for the vacant WBC Lightweight Championship in one of the most important fights of the year. Can Zepeda continue his relentless pressure, or will Roach capture his second world title in a new weight class? Also on the card, Raymond Muratalla defends the IBF Lightweight Championship against former world champion Robson Conceicao, while undefeated Charles Conwell looks to stay on track against Paul Kroll. This week on Ringside Reporter, we break down every major fight and discuss the biggest stories making headlines in boxing. This Week's Topics

It's another returning great this week as we welcome Matchroom Boxing & Talent Agency CEO Frank Smith back to the chair. Frank was show number 8 on Business of Sport, and a lot has happened since. On top of deciding the sweeping curtains should be replaced by a buzz cut, he has been front and centre of a first class Netflix series looking behind the curtain at Matchroom, organised some of the biggest fights in the industry, and has set up Matchroom Talent Agency, signing some of the most notable but undervalued talent in sport, including Tom Aspinall & Henry Pollock.There was an air of confidence, surety, calmness, whatever you want to call it, about Frank this time round. To operate successfully in an industry where I think it is fair to say emotion can drive and get in the way of decision making and clarity of thought, Frank's approach is pretty unique. Whether it is putting on Anthony Joshua's mega fights, dealing with the Conor Benn fallout, adapting to the changing face of boxing as the influencer category flexes harder than ever, the approach doesn't seem to change. I loved doing this again. We're delighted to welcome Frank to the Business of Sport.A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show: AirwallexThe intelligent financial platform for global businesses⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.airwallex.com/uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GeminiWe empower the most confident sports organisations on Earth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://geminisports.ai/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you're interested in partnering with the show, please reach out to us at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bos@20vc.com

Billy C gives his thoughts on the scheduled Championship fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn set for September 12 in Las Vegas

Billy C gets us caught up on the latest boxing news and rumors, including his thoughts on Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn set for September 12. He also responds to a great email from a listener, is Zuffa Boxing update and much more. Billy C breaks down the five biggest fights scheduled for this weekend.

Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Errol Spence will all this weekend exhibit what is left of themselves. Even if it turns out to be very little, that should still be enough for Joshua and Fury to triumph against Kristian Prenga and Mariusz Wach respectively. If the point of those exercises is questionable then the task that awaits Spence is, by comparison, somewhat formidable. He takes on Tim Tszyu in Australia in a bout set at 160lbs. Will Spence show he still has what it takes at 36 or will he become the latest athlete to realise that time is the cruellest opponent of them all? Elsewhere, Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn reminded everyone how much noise they can make and how hard they can appear.  Thanks for listening and for your support, amigos.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Gareth A Davies is alongside journalist and broadcaster Tris Dixon to look ahead to our live coverage of Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga this Saturday and what lies ahead for AJ and Tyson Fury who is also fighting this week, he takes on Mariusz Wach in ThailandWe also get a look at the undercard, with two British World Champions Hamzah Sheeraz and Josh Kelly both in action.Conor Benn and Ryan Garcia have come face to face ahead of their fight later this year, we hear from the pair of them and ask how big of a star Benn can become in AmericaAnd after Matchroom revealed their four upcoming shows featuring the likes of Ben Whittaker and Dalton Smith we ask if Eddie Hearn is feeling the heat from Zuffa and Dana White Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us Fan MailBoxing doesn't change because fans argue online, it changes when the business forces fighters to pick a direction. We start with Devin Haney facing a real crossroads: negotiate the WBO mandatory with Keyshawn Davis, risk a purse bid, or vacate and chase a bigger moment. We talk through what each option signals, why timing matters, and why a “dangerous fight” isn't always the same as a “sellable fight.” Then we get into the matchup boxing fans keep demanding: Haney vs Shakur Stevenson at 144. We break down the style clash, the weight talk, and the core question of how rounds get won when both guys are elite technicians. We also address what Shakur has shown lately on the front foot, why his accuracy changes the scoring optics, and what the Ryan Garcia fight did to the public conversation around Haney's defense and durability. From there, it's the big headline: Shakur Stevenson signing with Zuffa Boxing. We dig into what “what's next” really means, how Saudi funding and platform alignment can make cross-promotional fights easier, and why belts might become optional when the bag is massive. We close with the wild side of the sport: Teofimo Lopez vs Rolly Romero, Tank Davis' next move and star power, Floyd Mayweather headlines, and the Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn twist that puts Zuffa right back in the title picture. If you're into boxing news, fight breakdowns, and the behind-the-scenes politics that decide the schedule, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review.

'THE TRUTH ABOUT ME FIGHTING CONOR BENN...' - HARLEM EUBANK REVEALS OFFER, CHASING WORLD TITLE SHOT

The boxing world delivered another massive week of news! We break down the biggest headlines, fight results, and rumors from around the sport.

Berki Fecó New Yorkban: Gleason's Gym, edzőtábor és a világbajnoki álom | MÓKA Podcast ep. 321   Berki Ferenc „Fecó" magyar profi boxoló őszintén mesél arról, milyen érzés New Yorkban, a legendás Gleason's Gymben készülni, hogyan különbözik az amerikai boxkultúra a magyartól, és mit jelent számára a világbajnoki álom Madison Square Gardennel a fejében. Ebben a MÓKA Podcast epizódban szóba kerül Fecó 20–1–1-es profi mérlege, a megélhetési boxolók világa, a box és MMA közötti különbségek, a női ökölvívás robbanásszerű fejlődése, valamint az, hogy miért keresnek még mindig többet a top boxolók, mint az MMA-harcosok.   Fecó gyerekkori „égetnivaló" srácból lett fegyelmezett profi bunyós: apja edzőként terelte a sport felé, több mint 100 amatőr meccs után lépett a profik közé, és ma már New Yorkban sparringol olyan teremben, ahol Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson és Jake LaMotta nevei élnek tovább a falakon. Részletesen elmeséli, miben más az amerikai közeg – mennyivel kompetitívebb, milyen apró technikai és lábmunkabeli különbségek teszik „lazábbá", mégis brutálisan hatékonnyá az itteni stílust, és hogyan próbálja ezeket tudatosan beépíteni a saját bunyójába.   A beszélgetésben kiemelt téma a pénz: Fecó elmondja, hogy nem minden boxoló milliomos, sőt a legtöbben meccspénzből, szponzorokból és edzések tartásából próbálják összerakni az életet, miközben edzőtáborokra, minőségi kajára, tápkiegészítőkre és hosszú felkészülésekre költenek. Beszél a megélhetési boxolókról, akik kemény meccsekért utaznak pénzért, és arról is, milyen ritka, de inspiráló, amikor valaki ebből a világból világbajnokká tud kitörni – mint Sergio Martínez vagy Arthur Abraham története mutatja.   Erős blokk a box vs MMA rész: Fecó technikai szemmel magyarázza, miért tartja a boxot elegánsabb, „szebb" mozgásnak, mit nem lát a laikus földharc közben, és miért gondolja, hogy az MMA-nak idővel a boxhoz hasonló fizetési szintre kell eljutnia. Szóba kerül a UFC fizetési struktúrája, a Bellator és más ligák, a nézettség és hype szerepe, valamint az, hogy a nagy showmanek – mint Conor McGregor vagy Jake Paul – hogyan emelik az egész sportágat.   A női boxról szólva Fecó arról beszél, hogy szerinte az elmúlt években a női ökölvívás óriásit fejlődött: már nem „nézhetetlen", hanem nagyon technikás, kemény és bátor női harcosokat látunk, akikre őszintén felnéz. Megemlíti Szabó Franciskát és Sina Bat meccsét, és azt, hogy mennyire lenyűgözi a női ütőerő – még kézfogásból is érzi, hogy itt nem érdemes ujjat húzni.   Az interjú mentális oldalát Fecó a súlyhozáson keresztül mutatja meg: szerinte a mérlegelés az egyik legnagyobb ellenfél, a vízvágás és böjt pedig olyan „vadász üzemmódba" teszi a harcost, amelyben ösztönösen muszáj teljesíteni. Ugyanakkor hangsúlyozza, hogy a box intelligens sport: folyamatos problémamegoldás nyomás alatt, gyors döntések egy ellenféllel szemben, aki közben épp le akar ütni. Beszél a vereségek tanulságairól, a pofonok szerepéről az életben, és arról, hogy a világsztárok (Pacquiao, Canelo) karrierje is megmutatja: nem a veretlenség, hanem a pályafutás egészének minősége számít.   A végén villámkérdések zárják a beszélgetést: Tyson vagy Ali, Canelo vagy Crawford, kivel bunyózna legszívesebben (Conor Benn), illetve készen állna-e egy azonnali világbajnoki meccsre. Amikor arról kérdezik, mit szeretne, hogy 20 év múlva emlékezzenek róla, a válasz egyszerű, de mindent elmond: „Az, hogy világbajnok lettem."   Fecó Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/feriberki/ boxrec.com/en/proboxer/734698   Fejezetek (Chapters)   00:00 – Bevezetés: Fecó, New York, Gleason's Gym 00:39 – Első benyomások az amerikai boxteremről 02:11 – Magyar edzések vs amerikai közeg, stíluskülönbségek 03:06 – Technika és sparring, új elemek beépítése 04:03 – Pályafutás kezdete, amatőr múlt, profi mérleg 06:19 – Amerikai lehetőség: videók, promóter, Törőcsik Dani 08:09 – Sparring New Yorkban, rivalizálás és tisztelet 09:30 – Madison Square Garden, legendák és gyerekkori álom 11:10 – Példaképek, Ryan Garcia, amerikai show 12:29 – Megélhetési boxolók és pénz a boxban 18:18 – Box vs MMA, fizetés, ligák, nézettség 23:06 – Férfi vs női box, Szabó Franciska 29:17 – Gleason's Gym története és hangulata 30:39 – Box, intelligencia, mentális felkészülés, súlyhozás 39:03 – Villámkérdések, világbajnoki álom, búcsú   Website: www.mayersharvest.com (http://www.mayersharvest.com/) Kuponkód: MOKA 20% kedvezményért Amazon Store: https://rb.gy/j1eiuy   Iratkozz fel a csatornára további magyar amerikai interjúkért és podcast epizódokért.   https://bit.ly/MOKAPodcatsSign  Kövess minket Facebookon: @mokapodcast Instagramon: @mokapodcastusa Web: mokapodcast.com Spotify  (https://bit.ly/mokapodcast) Apple Podcast  (https://bit.ly/moka2021) [Google Podcast](https://bit.ly/MokaGoogle) [Deezer](https://bit.ly/MokaDeezer) [LibSyn](https://bit.ly/MokaLibsyn) [Facebook](https://bit.ly/MokaFB)

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.

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? The Gypsy King returns after 16 months out and sits down with Buncey to discuss his fight with Arslanbek Makhmudov, his desire to face Anthony Joshua next, and why he believes he's in the shape of his life. Plus, we hear from Conor Benn ahead of his fight with Regis Prograis. And former world champion David Haye gives us his take on Saturday night's fight.

Following UFC Houston, Sean Strickland may have put himself in a position to fight Khamzat Chimaev for the middleweight title. Nassourdine Imavov views it differently after his five-fight win streak. Did Strickland do enough to get another crack at UFC gold? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the fallout from the UFC's return to the Lone Star State, who should get the shot between Strickland and Imavov, and if it will even matter with Chimaev teasing a move up to light heavyweight. Additionally, topics may include the Dana White vs. Eddie Hearn story writing another chapter after Conor Benn signed with Zuffa Boxing, Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao 2 being signed for Netflix, UFC Mexico headlined by Brandon Moreno vs. Lone'er Kavanagh, and much more.
