From embracing technology, to fighting regularly, he is doing everything that fans have wanted of mainstream boxing. More importantly, he is giving mainstream boxers money and a platform to grow. What is there not to like.

He is the fork in the road for boxing. Either, the sport embraces progress of it becomes ‘super niche’. Progress waits for nobody.

He also raises the question of the value of a promoter.

Easily one of the most respected boxers in the UK. A man that always goes out to entertain, and leaves it all in the ring.
What people will not know is that he is one of the smartest boxers out there, a man that really ‘gets’ the sport.

In this interview, you get to see him as I see him, fun engaging and always with an opinion.
This felt like more of a catch up than it did an interview, so I hope you enjoy it too.

At the heart of Josh Kelly’s defeat was the ridiculous hype that had built up around him, based on nothing but overselling, hype and a few Instagram videos. That all points to the rot that is setting in around British boxing, with all parties partly responsible.

From promoters.to trainers, fighters and fans, everyone has become carried away by the nonsense around the sport and until we tackle these issues, British boxers will fall just sort of elite.

Did Team Warrington overlook Lara? Was he presented as a ‘Hobson’s Choice’ opponent? Is Lara actually the next coming of Erik Morales?

In reality, only time will tell.

What is certain is that Warrington was not far off his best form in terms of activity, but a combination of time on the shelf and a young man in Lara that looked like he might have a great future in the sport.

There is a deeper question though. Do British boxers suffer from being inactive relative to boxers from other countries?]]>tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/987322585Wed, 17 Feb 2021 12:22:02 +0000Highfield BoxingJosh Warrington endured a torrid night against Mauricio Lara.
