About this episode
Though Gamal Yafai beating Sunny Edwards was not an upset, the one-sided nature of the beatdown was a surprise. The brilliant Yafai marches on while Edwards, Galal’s conqueror in the amateurs, announces his retirement.
Elsewhere, UKAD surrendered to Conor Benn in his fight to be cleared but the finer details of his case remain completely unclear - we ask why.
And in This Week, we look back on a scintillating performance from Donald Curry in 1985. Little did anyone know at the time that Curry’s thrashing of Milton McCrory would all but signal the beginning of the end for his flirtation with greatness.
