THE BOXING SHOW

THIS week we look ahead to Joe Joyce’s scrap with Zhilei Zhang at the Copper Box Arena. Will this be a test for the Juggernaut or will he brush the fringe contender aside?
We take a deep dive into the Amir Khan failed test which triggers some interesting questions about guilt, confidentiality and consistency.
We look back on last weekend’s action and, in This Week, we go back to 2016 when Errol Spence Jnr aced his first professional test.

ON a dramatic night in Saudi Arabia, Anthony Joshua looked terrific while stopping Otto Wallin, Joseph Parker outhustled a listless Deontay Wilder and Daniel Dubois thumped Jarrell Miller into submission.
Joshua’s partnership with Ben Davison got off to a flying start but the matchup with Wilder - who barely landed a single blow - could now be gone forever. We closely examine the performance of Dubois, too.
There was another upset, crafted by Agit Kabayel alongside more predictable wins for Dmitry Bivol, Filip Hrgovic and Jai Opetaia.
Get stuck in!
Wishing each of you a wonderful Christmas. Thanks, as always, for the support.

THIRTY years on from his epic victory over Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank relives that brutal contest.
Eubank talks exclusively to Boxing News' Matt Christie about the famous build-up (he insists he wasn't trying to get under Benn's skin) and of the genuine terror he felt in the company of Benn.
Eubank also discusses in detail how hard and gruelling the fight was while explaining how he actually managed to win.
Legendary TV anchor Jim Rosenthal is on hand to discuss his memories of the fight that was recently named by Boxing News as the greatest in British boxing history.
Alongside this engrossing trip back in time is a detailed preview of Kell Brook's mission to dethrone Terence Crawford, the Wembley bill and a look back on Devin Haney's latest victory.

KELL BROOK rolled back the years, or appeared to, as he pounded the resistance out of a typically courageous Amir Khan. The fight, though largely one-sided, was an exciting spectacle and might just have provided both veterans with the perfect goodbye.

Matt Christie, ringside in Manchester, and Alex Steedman reflect on the action and the post-fight scenes and interviews. What will Brook and Khan do next?  What should they do next? Two similar questions but two contrasting answers, perhaps.
The undercard and some poor matchmaking - namely Frazer Clarke’s professional debut - is also under scrutiny.

The upcoming all-British showdown between Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall is previewed while we look back on the glorious Roberto Duran-Iran Barkley war from 1989 in This Week In History.
