The boys are back in the studio jamming boxing and….the battle for love!) Jay Jay Roca takes the wheel to tell us more about social media influencer Jordan Semi who on debut takes on a Queensland Origin Legend, Justin Hodges. Simi shows massive heart on just eight days’ notice but there’s more to this fight, it’s a battle for love and Mark ‘Kittens’ Warren is intrigued and or confused with the storyline!)

We look at the white hot lightweight division with a look at a measured extremely measured article by Ring Magazine panellist Michael Montero. The new king is Devin Haney, but Montero has Ferocious George Kambosos Junior still at No 1 contender in front of the likes of Teofimo Lopez, Vasiliy Lomachenko,’The Tank’ Gevonta Davis and Ryan Garcia. His reasoning is balanced and to the point, for now!

Justis Huni is special, just off his beatdown of Joseph Goodall just how far can he go with lightening hands for a Heavyweight. Can he win a World title? Speaking of special,The Sweet Pea, Paulo Aokuso. Hello! Wow! Oh yeah, he wants a World Title inside 7 pay for pay and we’ll tell you why, we’re not sure how long it will take, but Aokuso is super talented on all levels and a great team in his corner.

Kostya Tszyu took the pro ranks by storm capturing the IBF Junior Welterweight crown from Mexican Jake ‘The Snake Rodriguez’ in January of 1995. Twenty seven years later to the day and it’s ‘The Soul Taker’ Tim Tszyu trading under those bright lights of Las Vegas. The mission, all the straps,to do that it means dethroning the big dog at 154 pounds ‘The Ironman’ Jermell Charlo! Can this son of a gun do it? We just think he’s different, obsessed and will find a way. Kittens takes us back twenty seven years his first trip to Vegas courtesy of Jeffrey Fenech(4 x if ya know ya know) and a few yarns from that magnificent night at The MGM Grand Casino.

Speaking of Tszyu, The Butcher Nikita Tszyu goes to 3 and zip in a 6 round war put on by the boys at NO LIMIT with a very well prepared Ben Horn and not without a last round scare for Nikita but he seemed to enjoy every single second of this fight.

We get personal, it’s fair to say Jay Jay Roca and Brock Jarvis are almost family, its fair to say the Fenech’s and the Di Carlo’s are almost family. Brock Jarvis V Liam Paro. Angelo Alfie and Nathan V Team Fenech. Perhaps this one should be billed ‘The Godfathers’! We take a look at what we can expect as Eddie Hearns Matchroom Boxing has the two Australians ready to rip!

Last but not least, we finish with an Australian Sporting story for the ages, if not the bravest effort in Australian Sporting History, well it’s in the Grand Final. Hashtag ‘The Southpaw’ Jai Opetaia takes the IBF Cruiserweight Title breaks one side of his jaw in round 2 breaks the other side of the jaw in round 10 whilst putting on a clinic for the ages. Opetaia wins the strap from the champion, Mairis Briedis, a fighter whose only loss came at the hands of and unbeatable cruiserweight by the name of Oleksandr Usyk, you may of heard of him, who’s since gone on to beat a Heavyweight by the name of Anthony Joshua!Are you serious! Jai Opetaia you our friend are our play of the year!
