We're On The Ground in Newcastle fresh off the back of the Shabaz Masoud vs Jose Sanmartin press conference. It's raw and ready. We speak to The Maverick ahead of his main event bout and also hear from Cameron Vuong, Darren Barker, Ishmael Davis, Jimmy Sains and Tony Sims.

This a man who's living his dream before our very eyes. Emmet Brennan fought for Ireland at the Olympics Games in Tokyo during the summer of 2021. After that he chose to turn pro, but opportunities were few and far between as he moved to America to make his name. That led to a spell in the doldrums, to say the least, but Brennan has come home and put his days of drinking and gambling in the rear-view mirror given his overwhelming desire to succeed in boxing. He's secured an ambitious management team – under former world champions Darren Barker and Joe Calzaghe – and it's led to a slot on Katie Taylor's undercard on November 25. Taylor's second crack at undisputed world light-welterweight champ Chantelle Cameron should be a humdinger. But the fight of the night could take place much earlier – when Jamie Morrissey of Limerick defends his BUI Celtic light-heavyweight belt against the bould Mr Brennan in what will be just his second fight in the paid ranks. It'll take place one kilometre from his house and the 32-year-old has been running past the 3Arena most days as he puts in the road work, dreaming of his big night in the capital. Here, Emmet and Darren talk about how they teamed up, the short- and long-term goals they have, pestering Eddie Hearn for opportunities and what Emmet could pick up from the 168lb greats on this side of the pond from Steve Collins to Carl Froch via Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn and Calzaghe himself. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If this last weekend was the climax of the 2013 year in boxing, then this coming weekend is one hell of a refractory period. It may feel as though we're on the bad side of a weekend letdown, but what it lacked in quality (in some ways), it made up for in unrelenting quantity. This week on Queensberry Rules Radio, James Foley of Bad Left Hook and Queensberry-Rules' Patrick Connor review Paul Malignaggi's win over Zab Judah, Guillermo Rigondeaux's domination of Joseph Agbeko, the Shawn Porter vs. Devon Alexander Clinchapalooza, the James Kirkland vs. Glen Tapia in-ring outburst, Felix Sturm's surprise stop of Darren Barker, and more. Also on the holiday platter is a preview of Adrien Broner vs. Marcos Maidana, which will include Jesus Soto Karass vs. Keith Thurman. There's no let up this week, fans. Thanks for tuning in!

We have some top boxing from both sides of the Atlantic this weekend and Steve Bunce is on hand to preview it all. Darren Barker defends his middleweight world title against Felix Sturm in Germany, while BoxNation is showing a host of domestic fights from the Echo Arena. Stateside HBO have a glittering card of world title fights and big names. http://serve.williamhill.com/promoRedirect?member=audiobooUK&campaign=DEFAULT&channel=will_boxing&zone=1480798546&lp=0

What we could probably do this week is replace most of the words in any given sentence with boxing. For boxing, this boxing could totally say boxing else, but since we're boxing so much boxing this weekend, boxing it. First things first: James Foley of Bad Left Hook and Queensberry Rules' Patrick Connor wake up from their contact concussions to recap Adonis Stevenson and Sergey Kovalev's respective thrashings of Tony Bellew and Ismayl Sillakh. Then there's Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Joseph Agbeko, James Kirkland vs. Glen Tapia and Matthew Macklin vs. Lamar Russ on HBO to preview, and...hang on, resting my fingers...Zab Judah vs. Paul Malignaggi, Devon Alexander vs. Shawn Porter, Sakio Bika vs. Anthony Dirrell and Erislandy Lara vs. Austin Trout on Showtime, also to preview.
