Fight Night Boxing Podcast

Welcome to the Fight Night Podcast with Dave Farrar, alongside former European champion Spencer Oliver. This week, we’re looking ahead to what could be a defining year for boxing, starting with the heavyweight division. How does the landscape shape up in 2026? And what’s next for the likes of Oleksandr Usyk, Fabio Wardley, and Tyson Fury as the division continues to evolve? We’re also joined by one of the sport’s rising talents, Fran Hennessey. She’s on the show to discuss her upcoming clash with Ellie Bouttell, the significance of this fight, and where she feels she’s heading at this stage of her career. With 2025 drawing to a close, Spencer and I compare our Top 10 pound-for-pound lists - debating the rankings, the big movers, and the fighters who just miss out. And finally, we look ahead to 2026. What are the fights we want to see made? Thank you for listening - and don’t forget to subscribe to the talkSPORT Boxing YouTube channel for all our daily content.  

Welcome to the Fight Night Podcast with me, Andy Clarke, alongside former European champion Spencer Oliver. This week, it’s our Fight Night Boxing 2025 Awards, as we look back on the biggest moments, the standout performances, and the fights that defined a memorable year in the sport. We kick things off with the biggest debate of all - Fighter of the Year. Does the crown belong to Terence Crawford? Oleksandr Usyk? Or is there another name that deserves top spot? Next up, it’s Knockout of the Year, celebrating the jaw-dropping finishes that reminded us exactly why boxing always delivers drama. Then we turn our attention to Fight of the Year. From Conor Benn vs Chris Eubank Jr to Artur Beterbiev against Dmitry Bivol, 2025 gave us some absolute classics - but which bout stands above the rest?After that, we zoom out to the bigger picture. Joined by Spencer Oliver and Owen, the Boxing Fan, we debate the state of the sport. Does boxing need to change with the times, or should tradition always come first? And finally, we take a moment to pay tribute to some of the great names the boxing world sadly lost this year.That’s all for this edition of the Fight Night Podcast with me, Andy Clarke, and Spencer Oliver. Enjoy!
