Former British lightweight champion Lee Meager is a tarmacker by trade and was involved in some great fights in his pro career, from 2000 to 2008. He won 16 of his first 17 pro contests, trained under the watchful eye of Robert McCracken and was one of Mick Hennessy's Class of 2000, and was part of a stable that would feature Carl Froch, Darren Barker and Tyson Fury. Meager boxed the likes of Jon Thaxton, Dave Stewart, John Murray, Charlie Shepherd and Martin Watson and fought in Las Vegas the night before Floyd Mayweather defeated Ricky Hatton. Here, Meager reflects on his career, the sacrifices he made, the fights, the wars and personalities and life after boxing.
Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte has given his take on Anthony Joshua testing the waters with new trainers."The easiest thing to do when you lose is to question the people around you instead of questioning yourself. Robert McCracken is a great trainer. Look what he's done for Carl Froch and other people on the GB squad. But when you lose you start looking for excuses, ‘Ah maybe I didn't sleep enough, maybe it's my coaches.' Joshua's problem is with himself, it's not with his coaches – it's him," Whyte told Talk Sport.“He let all these idiots come around him and start telling him, ‘Ah, yeah, do this and be like this.' He should've started steaming Usyk after a few rounds, he should've at least tried. He just subdued to a twelve round beating.”Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcKT39KR_e3ZliHe4cyC06A/joinOne Free Month of Dazn On TBV http://bit.ly/ThaBoxingVoicexDAZNhttps://www.patreon.com/ThaboxingvoiceBUY THA BOXING VOICE T-SHIRT HERE http://thaboxingvoice.com/storePLEASE SUPPORT!!!

According to some, underneath our feet is a second, inverted world, home to strange beasts, the Lost Tribes of Israel . . . maybe even Hitler. In the nineteenth century, a booster for this “hollow earth” theory was one John Cleves Symmes of Sussex County, New Jersey. Accompanied by a perforated wooden globe, between 1818 and 1827 Symmes crisscrossed the United States delivering lectures on the existence of portals to this “underworld” located at the poles, and urging an expedition be undertaken to discover them. Drexel University’s Robert McCracken Peck comes on the pod to talk about the theory and the globe in this episode of Curious Objects.
☎️“After meetings with Anthony Joshua, (head trainer and former middleweight contender) Robert McCracken and the management team in NY, we have today triggered the contracted rematch clause with Andy Ruiz Jnr.,” Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s career-long promoter announced on Tuesday.“The fight will take place in November/December at a venue to be confirmed shortly.
