Today's Episode is about a British former professional boxer who competed from 1982 to 1996. He had a highly publicised and eventful career, both in and out of the ring. The pinnacle of Bruno's boxing career was winning the WBC heavyweight title from Oliver McCall at a packed Wembley Stadium in 1995, in what was his fourth world championship challenge. Bruno faced multiple top-rated heavyweights throughout his career, including two fights against Mike Tyson in 1989 and 1996, and a domestic clash against Lennox Lewis in 1993. He was also known for his exceptional punching power, scoring 38 knockouts in 40 wins, giving him a 95% knockout-to-win ratio. In addition to this, I talk also about the struggles and hardships Bruno went through dealing with his mental health.

Larry Holmes (born November 3, 1949) is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1973 to 2002. He grew up in Easton, Pennsylvania, which led to his boxing nickname of "The Easton Assassin".Holmes, whose left jab is rated among the best in boxing history,[1] held the WBC heavyweight title from 1978 to 1983, The Ring magazine and lineal heavyweight titles from 1980 to 1985,[2] and the inaugural IBF heavyweight title from 1983 to 1985. He made 20 successful title defenses,[3][4] placing him third all time, behind only Joe Louis at 25 and Wladimir Klitschko at 22. He also holds the record for the longest individual heavyweight title streak in the modern boxing history. Holmes is one of only five boxers—along with Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Leon Spinks and Trevor Berbick—to defeat Muhammad Ali; he is the only one to have stopped Ali (while Ali was suffering with early Parkinson's disease).Holmes won his first 48 professional bouts, including victories over Norton, Ali, Earnie Shavers, Mike Weaver, Gerry Cooney, Tim Witherspoon, Carl Williams and Marvis Frazier. He fell one short of matching Rocky Marciano's career record of 49–0 when he lost to Michael Spinks in an upset in 1985. Holmes retired after losing a rematch to Spinks the following year, but made repeated comebacks. He was unsuccessful in three further attempts (against Mike Tyson in 1988, Evander Holyfield in 1992 and Oliver McCall in 1995) to regain the heavyweight title. Holmes fought for the final time in 2002, aged 52, against the 334lb Eric "Butterbean" Esch, and ended his career with a record of 69 wins and 6 losses.[5] He is frequently ranked as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time[6] and has been inducted into both the International Boxing Hall of Fame and World Boxing Hall of Fame.

It's episode 50 and it's the UK's favourite fighter, former WBC heavyweight champion Frank Bruno. In one of his most candid interviews in years, Bruno reflects on his life and times, from his rough childhood, starting boxing, being sent to borstal and then fighting his way through the ranks and into huge fights with the likes of Tim Witherspoon, Mike Tyson (twice), Lennox Lewis and Oliver McCall. There were huge knockouts and heartbreaking losses along the way and, of course, his post-boxing career battles that have included him being sectioned three times and a public mental health battle. Here, Bruno covers it all, answers the questions that have surrounded his career and talks about his biggest fight in life after boxing.

In this special extra episode, Jamie Clubb discusses how fighters adapt to fight within their combat sport, how fights are manipulated within the rules of competition and how all this contrasts with the expectations of those who watch.

This was a completely exclusive interview for any fans of boxing who may wonder what goes on behind the scenes of big time boxing. He shared details that have never before been disclosed before to the press about the great careers of the boxers I’ve mentioned. They say you play football, you play baseball, and you can even play hockey, but you can never play boxing or you will get hurt. This interview reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly with the sport of boxing.   Question of the Week – What do you love the most about Nashville?  -About Nashville Feedback Phone Line- (615) 852-5552.   Follow the show on Twitter & Facebook @AboutNashville Email the show at AboutNashville@gmail.com Call the -About Nashville Feedback Phone Line- (615) 852-5552 to ask questions or provide feedback that will be played and responded to on the show.   Nashville News Fall Tennessee Craft Fair @ Centennial Park - September 23-25 - Handmade craft art of so many mediums are offered for sale Friday and Saturday: 10am-6pm Sunday: 10am-5pm Admission is free and open to the public!   Nashville Chalkfest @ Fannie Mae Dees Park - September 24-25 Nashville Chalk Fest is a free, 2-day street painting festival with entertainment, food, and family fun; featuring sidewalk chalk art by professional artists.

BOXING MANAGER/PROMOTER/DON KING BUSINESS PARTNER Today’s guest is Jimmy Adams who is a Don King business partner and former boxing manager. Jimmy managed the boxing careers of Ernie Shavers, Bert Cooper, Oliver McCall, Greg Page, Riddick Bowe, Tony Tucker, and many, many others. Jimmy actually promoted several of my own pro bouts in the beginning of my boxing career with his “Mix Factory Boxing Series” in Nashville. The interview with Jimmy Adams was so good that I’m making it a two part series. This was a completely exclusive interview because he rarely speaks to the press, and when he does it’s to promote something and not discuss it. If you’re a fan of boxing and have wondered what happens behind the scenes of the fight game then this episode may very well blow your mind.  Specific details that have never before been revealed to the press or to the fans of Boxing about the great careers of the many boxers I’ve mentioned and what eventually happened to all of them might leave you speechless or possibly bring you to tears. I was also able to debunk several myths regarding Don King and his operations in our conversation with another side of the story that sets the record straight for the listeners.  Mike and Holly talk about a couple of special events going on in Nashville this week, the controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton’s health, and what the Football protests mean to Holly being a woman of color. They also provide the listeners with their new About Nashville Feedback Phone Line to interact with them on the show.     Follow the show on Twitter & Facebook @AboutNashville Email the show at AboutNashville@gmail.com Call the About Nashville Feedback Phone Line (615) 852-5552 to ask questions or provide feedback that will be played and responded to on the show.   QUESTION OF THE WEEK Are Hillary’s health problems worse than reported or politically exaggerated?
