1980s Heavyweight Boxing Special - Part 1

Today, we are not talking movies!

With my book, Heavyweight Title Fights of the 1980s, now available for pre-order, I decided to go deep on some of the heavyweights from that era.

In this special episode, I asked writer and pianist, Charles Farrell, to pick his top 5 heavyweights from the 80s, excluding Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson. Charles managed several fighters back in those days, so he has a wealth of personal knowledge.

His fascinating and entertaining memoir is available here and you can now pre-order his book on Mitch "Blood" Green from Amazon
