Gabby & Mark celebrate the life of a true British sporting icon, “The Hitman” Ricky Hatton. A ferocious fighter who turned boxing into spectacle for an army of fans at a time when the sport seemed lost. A superstar and a proud Mancunian who you genuinely felt like you could go for a drink with and talk about the football, or Oasis. When he descended on Las Vegas to face Floyd Mayweather, it was as if half of the UK had followed him... His best night? Shocking the great Kostya Tszyu, 20 years ago, in front of a sold out Manchester Arena - Hatton stepped out of the shadows and we fell in love with him. In retirement he was open about struggles with his own mental health, helping countless people by being brave enough, outside the ring, to talk about it. Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn discusses the blueprint Hatton laid for the modern UK boxing superstar, Sky Boxing's Andy Clarke reflects on the public's adoration for him and trainer Adam Booth weighs in on his unique skillset.

#richardsonhitchins #devinhaney #teofimolopez Get ready for a wild ride as we dive into the chaos surrounding IBF light welterweight champ Richardson Hitchins! After his stunning eighth-round KO of George Kambosos Jr., Hitchins dropped a bombshell—free agency! Eddie Hearn's fuming, and Turki Alalshikh's loyalty to Matchroom adds fuel to the fire. Will Hitchins face Devin Haney or Teofimo Lopez, or is he stuck with lesser foes? We unpack the drama, his next move, and whether his 1990s Mayweather-style can shine. Tune in for expert takes, fan reactions, and spicy predictions—boxing's hottest saga awaits!

A very slow week of boxing occurred with the highlights being Richardson Hitchins stopping George Kambosos Jr, which would lead to a call-out of former two-division titleholder Devin Haney. Andy Cruz stopped Hironori Mishiro. This win makes Cruz mandatory for Raymond Muratalla's IBF title. Friday night, two things to talk about: A card in Ghana went on until the early morning with Andrew Tabiti getting a stoppage win, and LeAnna Cruz had to get off the deck to win her fight against Regina Chavez. Israel Mercado upset Branden Pizarro in the co-feature. Looking ahead to Thursday, WBO welterweight titleholder Brian Norman Jr faces Jin Sasaki. Is this a Fight of the Year or a mismatch? We discuss. From Thursday to Saturday, the WBC Grand Prix will enter the second round. This has provided some very exciting bouts so far. Friday on DAZN, David Stevens vs. Petr Khamukov will meet in a crossroads match. Saturday on DAZN, Galal Yafai vs. Francisco Rodriguez will take center stage with Peter McGrail in the co-feature. Saturday on ESPN+, Vito Mielnicki Jr. will face Kamil Gardzielik, other notables on the card, Jahi Tucker vs Lorenzo Simpson, which is a great fight, Brandun Lee, and Jamar Talley.Saturday on UFC Fight Pass, Callum Walsh will face Elias Espadas in a very good match-up we will explain. Also, Cain Sandoval, "Right Hook Roxy" Verduzco, and Umar Dzambekov round out the undercard. Timestamps 0:00 Dakota rants3:00 Richardson Hitchins-George Kambosos 13:00 Matchroom undercard17:40 Moses Ituama-Dillian Whyte Preview19:16 OTX Boxing card25:35 Ghana card27:10 Brian Norman-Jin Sasaki30:00 TV Breakdown of the Week37:30 Jahi Tucker-Lorenzo Simpson45:10 Callum Walsh
