BEYOND BOXING EP318 - THE END OF THE EDDIE HEARN CHAPTER?
https://linktr.ee/highfieldboxing There's no doubt about it: Eddie Hearn is in trouble. Look at Matchroom Boxing's revenue. Down. Look at profitability. Also down, and that's even with Hearn himself telling us he's putting on more shows than ever. So the question is: are we witnessing the end of...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP317 - WE NEED TO HAVE A WORD WITH BEN WHITTAKER
Did Conor Wallace expose Ben Whittaker, or is Ben paying a heavy price for promoters not taking risks with him? Ben is a generational talent, but at some point soon, it has to become real achievement because he is in his prime. Where do the issues really lie? We know there’s a good fighter in...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP316 - THE FAILED EDDIE HEARN HEIST
People need to start asking Eddie Hearn what the real game is? He is definitely playing games with the fans.
-
BEYOND BOXING EP315 - CONOR BENN'S FIRST DAY IN BIG SCHOOL
Here’s the hard truth: Conor Benn is not Nigel Benn. He never was. He doesn’t have what his father had, and Saturday night proved it in brutal fashion. What we watched wasn’t just a loss. It was what happens when a kid from privilege steps into a sport built by people who either grew up hard, or...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP314 - IF I COULD TALK TO MOSES ITAUMA
Moses Itauma’s defeat on Saturday raises a question that is impossible to ignore: who is actually responsible for what happened? There are really only two possibilities. Either Ben Davison and his team had the right game plan, understood exactly what was happening in the ring, knew what Moses...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP313 - THE MOSES ITAUMA REBOOT
In boxing, nothing beats experience. Nothing beats that feeling of knowing you’ve been there before, knowing you’ve overcome it before, and knowing exactly how to do it again. Moses found that out the hard way. A decade after winning Olympic bronze, Filip Hrgović showed the value of taking the…

BEYOND BOXING EP312 - A WEEK IN BOXING
Will Claressa Shields ever get the test her career deserves? Will she ever get the test that cements her greatness? It seems that she’s so far ahead of everybody else in boxing that she could almost retire, Go and do the Olympics with a third gold medal, come back and be undisputed all over again...

BEYOND BOXING EP311 - ONE FOR THE DIPSH*TS
BEYOND BOXING EP311 - ONE FOR THE DIPSH*TS by Highfield Boxing

BEYOND BOXING EP310 - PRENGA KNOCKED THE FEMI INTO JOSHUA
For over a decade, boxing fans have waited for Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury to finally meet. In heavyweight boxing, 10 years is an eternity. It’s the difference between your prime and your decline. Fast forward to 2026, and last weekend made one thing painfully clear: both men are in rapid...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP309 - ERROL SPENCE - TRUTH AND RECONCILLIATION
What a career Errol Spence Jr. has had. When history judges him, I think he’ll be remembered as one of the rare elite fighters who took on every challenge. No ducking, no waiting for opponents to age, no protecting an unbeaten record. He fought virtually everyone there was to fight at…
more -
BEYOND BOXING EP308 - WHEN WERE WE WARRIORS?
Changing the manager will not fix anything. The England football problems are the same as the British boxing problems. We have a society that are not mentally resilient but what is even worse is that we have very few, if any internal drivers to be great collectively. How do we fix this?
-
BEYOND BOXING EP307 - TYSON FURY ABOUT TO WACH ONE OUT ON THE FANS
Boxing loves to shoot itself in the foot. How can we go from Jaron Ennis and Xander Zayas giving us one of the best fights we’ve seen in the last 10 years to having to deal with Tyson Fury fighting Mariusz Wach. With him then offering his fig leaf of charitable donations when he could easily…
more -
BEYOND BOXING EP306 - FURY KNOWS IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN
It’s notoriously difficult to get removed from a no-entry or travel prohibition list. In Tyson Fury’s case, how he’s managed to do so remains unclear. Whether additional concessions were required is anyone’s guess. What does seem possible is that he may have had to cooperate with certain…
more -
BEYOND BOXING EP305 - IS MISFITS MISFIRING
They really had John Fury out there running about like Uncle Albert?
-
BEYOND BOXING EP304 - JUSTICE FOR BEN SHALOM
You can’t help it feel that watching the Zuffa card was like watching a Boxxer card from 2023. So, if you’re Ben Shalom you must be sat at home raging that the fighters you help build have just been taken from you, and put in exactly the same place you left them, and you received no compensation....
-
BEYOND BOXING EP303 - ITS NOT VERHOVER YET
Last night’s main event had all the ingredients of a defining moment—but instead, it left us debating the referee. As Rico Verhoeven pushed himself against the elite pedigree of Oleksandr Usyk, the fight was hanging in the balance. He was under pressure, no doubt, but still on his feet and within...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP302 - THE ULTIMATE WARRIORS
What are we just seen? Seriously? What have we just seen? We have seen the most dramatic world title fight we’ve seen in the UK for a long time. We saw two men put their bodies and literally their lives on the line, and you wonder if either Man will be the same again. In a perverse way, that is...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP301 - SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
Time to remove more frauds from the game.
-
BEYOND BOXING EP300 - WHAT GP GIVES OUT GHRP 2.
Doping is a serious problem in boxing. Whether the sport is dirty, or people are sailing too close to the wind, something has to change. We also need to look at why VADA is catching everyone and UKAD is catching nobody. What of VADA did other sports, what would they find?
-
BEYOND BOXING EP299 - THE 400TH ONE
When we hit the milestone episodes, you know I have to go back to the essence - where it all started. So today, i am joined by martin and Andi, the legends that built the New Age Boxing podcast, father to much of what came after. Not sure what we did today, but we had fun writing a few wrongs and...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP298 - WHEN MALIK CAME TO TOWN
The fun and games of a boxing weigh-in.
-
BEYOND BOXING EP297 - PUT THE RICE CRISPIES IN THE BOWL
Without doubt, Moses Itauma is a special talent and you sense his moment will arrive soon. The hope is that his career lasts a long time and that means he has the pressure of remaining hungry, dedicated and in love with the sport. What a good feeling it is to see big shows, in big arenas, in the...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP296 - FROM UNCASTRATED BOAR TO FAKE BEEF
Geopolitics have really accelerated the boxing recession. Everyone is fighting for the last few dollars left on the table, but the fans aren't buying into all of it this time.
-
BEYOND BOXING EP295 - FRANK WARREN, FLOYD MAYWEATHER, MANNY PACQUIAO - BACK TO THE FUTURE
The fact that Mayweather-Pacquiao II is the biggest fight in boxing says everything about the mess boxing has become since they left the scene. Had we had the fights we deserved, maybe we wouldn't be watching this. But, respect to both men for never letting their standards drop and still being...
-
THE AFTERMATH
Boxing is dog-eat-dog. Not many boxers get the opportunity to do the eating, but Conor Benn did. Watch the Matchroom Mujaheddin start attacking Conor, for their heroes and masters...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP294 - CONOR BENN AND HIS YEAR OF ZUFFERING
There’s clearly a lot more to this Conor Benn and Matchroom relationship than we are being led to believe because Conor would’ve made good money with Matchroom, and so for him to leave and move to Zuffa, and essentially relocate his whole career to the United States tells us that maybe the garden...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP293 - SHAKUR TEOS HIM A NEW ONE
It’s very hard if not impossible to to fight someone you’ve looked up to for a long time and Teofimo Lopez faced that challenge against Stevenson. He had to fight someone he knew was more skilled more experienced and an all-round better fighter. The sad part about it is he did nothing different…
more -
BEYOND BOXING EP292 - RETURN OF THE DON
The grass is rarely greener than where you are right now. Daniel Dubois has perhaps learned that lesson. In life, there is value in committing and building partnerships and legacies, which Daniel and Don Charles have a chance to do.
-
BEYOND BOXING EP291 - SHEFFIELD CIVIL WAR
Dalton Smith has brought hope to Sheffield and this could be a new dawn for Yorkshire boxing. But... the big story is the fall-out from the movie Giant. Whichever side you go for just know that these relationships are more complex than we can ever learn from video interviews. What we can say is...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP290 - NOT A 2025 RECAP
The UK-Africa boxing experiment has been a disaster. It smells of colonialism, or at bet, a cynical cash-grab without having to invest in UK fighters. But, it points to the desperation these promoters have to make money at all costs, no matter how much damage it does to the brand.
-
BEYOND BOXING EP289 - FROM TOP G TO SUB BOTTOM
When you carry on like Andrew Tate and you say the things that he says, the only way you should ever lose a fight is on your shield. You can never go out soft, the world will not allow you to go out soft after everything you have said. On Saturday night, we saw Andrew Tate go out soft he looked...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP288 - ANTHONY JOSHUA HITS THE JAKEPOT
When it’s all said and done, moments like this Jake Paul v Anthony Joshua circus will be the moment Boxing lost it soul. For generations, we were able to tell the public that the sport was so hard you had to be a specialist in this thing we called Boxing. We told people it took years of mastery.…
more -
BEYOND BOXING EP287 - FISHER TAKES THE BAIT
That Monaco show was disastrous for a few prospects who will clearly never be world champions now. It also gave Eddie Hearn a chance to clear some. Deadwood out the stable.
-
BEYOND BOXING EP286 - EDDIE HEARN FINDS HIS MUSE
When someone like Jeami TKV upsets the odds, we should celebrate it because it is a chance for them to change their lives because that is what this sport is about. We need more warriors like him and Frazer Clarke to take the sport forward.
-
BEYOND BOXING EP285 - THE SLOW DEATH OF BOXXER
When you hear that theme music, you know it's serious. Boxxer blew threw an estimated £32m of our money to give us a worse stable than they started with. This BBC deal feels like the last days of Boxxer. Can anyone see them turning it around? You cant have a circus bear dancing around before a...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP284 - THE SHORTEST YARDE
Anthony Yarde has to be the best managed boxer in recent British boxing history. The young man is a millionaire. He’s fought for world titles three times against three people who will definitely be on the ballot for the Boxing Hall of Fame and he’s been able to secure endorsement deals and...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP283 - POPE JAKE PAUL
This fight is crazy, but I’m here for it…if it happens.
-
BEYOND BOXING EP282 - EUBANK BENN-T OUT OF SHAPE
Conor Benn may not be the most talented, but he is determined and you can see the progress he has made in the last 5 years. Whatever people say, the kid is a contender in three weight classes.

-
BEYOND BOXING EP280 - THE BOOK OF JOSHUA
It’s been a crazy year for Anthony Joshua and you have to suspect that there are problems for him in the ring and there are problems for him outside the ring. What those problems are, not many of us know but we know that there are problems, and it seems that is the reason he’s no longer in the…

BEYOND BOXING EP278 - FABIO BECOMES WARDLEY WISE
When two men go to war like Fabio Wardley and Joseph Parker did, there are no losers. What a fight and what a story Fabio Wardley’s career is becoming. Rocky really lives amongst us. The man’s life is a movie.
-
BEYOND BOXING EP277 - WHY WE NEED PPV
A long time ago I said Turki and the Saudis saw boxing as a tool, not a passion project. Wardley-Parker is proof that they won't burn cashon fights that do not serve their aims. For those fights, the fans have to pay.
-
BEYOND BOXING EP276 - RHINO GETS POACHED
Dave Allen’s spirited effort just wasn’t enough to overcome the power and precision of Arslanbek Makhmudov. Despite coming off a huge knockout win over Johnny Fisher back in May, Allen fell short on the scorecards, with all three judges giving the fight to the Russian, even after Makhmudov had…
more -
BEYOND BOXING EP275 - CRAWFORD, CINNAMON, AND ONLYFANS
There is no doubt that Crawford is the best of this era, but we have to stop with the Floyd comparisons because he was one of one. Crawford winning against Canelo has disrupted the boxing money train temporarily as he will not find an opponent to give him the payday he wants. Boers on...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP274 - RIP RICKY HATTON
Ricky Hatton, known as “The Hitman” and beloved by legions of fans, passed away on 14 September 2025 aged 46. Born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, Hatton turned professional in 1997, going on to carve out a storied career in the light‐welterweight and welterweight divisions. He captured world...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP273 - CANELO TO CRUSH HIS BEST BUD
Canelo Álvarez, dominant at super-middleweight, brings size, power, and championship pedigree into his defense against Terence Crawford, the undefeated tactician jumping two weight divisions. Canelo’s physicality, granite chin, and ring experience give him clear advantages, but Crawford’s timing,...

The story is the story. No answers to any questions.

BEYOND BOXING EP272 - WHYTEWASH
In today's news... Moses won - first round stoppage. Frank won - he got to see one of his enemies humbled by a 20 year old. Dillian won - He was paid handsomely at a time when he was on the outside of boxing looking in. However, this week, Don Charles lost. He paid a heavy price for trying to...
-
BEYOND BOXING EP271 - THE UK NEEDS WHYTE POWER
Dillian Whyte stands in the last chance saloon if he wants one last run at glory. Blocking his other is Moses Itauma, a young man in a rush towards greatness. Can Dillian upset the odds and add one more chapter to his storied career?
