1980s Heavyweight Boxing Live Q&A

In this bonus episode, esteemed boxing writer and editor, Bill Dettloff, joins me for a live Q&A all about the 1980s heavyweight boxing division.

The discussion was hosted by BBC Radio Northampton's Jake Sharpe. We took questions from the audience and discussed the likes of Tyson, Holmes, Page, Witherspoon, Cooney and many more. We talked favourite fights and fighters, and reflected on the era as a whole. It was great fun, so I hope it's as much fun to listen to.

I'm so grateful to Bill and Jake for taking part, along with everyone who ordered a ticket to join us for an evening of heavyweight conversation and nostalgia.

Look out for his book - Ring Theory: Meditations on 35 Years in Boxing - out later this year.
