You know it’s an excellent match-up when even the two main men can’t agree on a winner 👌🏻 What’s your #BuatsiHutchinson2 pick? 🔮👇🏻

Spot on, Matt. I've just listened to your riveting @openingbellpod interview with Neil Scott. I'd urge anyone interested in boxing to listen to the interview with Dr Scott. Knowledge, skill, compassion, vast experience....and a love for boxing despite everything

For anyone questioning Neil Scott’s experience and credentials... Not only is he actually there, after a ludicrous journey that should never have been asked of him, he’s also one of the world’s leading, most caring, fight doctors. The sport needs far more people like him.

Denzel Bentley has just been stripped of his WBO world middleweight belt. But, in a gripping interview, he set this in context by confronting the fact that so many of his friends have been murdered on the street. He returns to the ring on Saturday night theguardian.com/sport/2026/n…

Stripped of his WBO world title and numbed by violent deaths of friends in Battersea, the middleweight tells Donald McRae he is determined to press on in pursuit of fights and titles

I went to Amsterdam to meet the incredible Loek Hartog who pulled @OllieMillroy from a burning car last month. Loek spoke about the accident, what he did and his extraordinary friendship with Ollie. We then spoke to Ollie - who is just as impressive. theguardian.com/sport/2026/o…

Last month in Shanghai, the Dutch driver saved Ollie Millroy’s life after a crash. The incident created a unique friendship and a shared determination to improve safety
