George Groves and Dec Taylor are joined this week by referee Ian John-Lewis. John-Lewis was downgraded for his scorecard in Josh Taylor’s fight with Jack Catterall back in February 2022. The undisputed light-welterweight clash saw Taylor awarded a split-decision victory and, ahead of their rematch, John-Lewis is here to give his side of the story. As the subject matter in this episode is a controversial topic, we have reached out to the British Boxing Board of Control but as yet they have not responded with a statement.

George and Dec are back to dissect Ryan Garcia’s dramatic points victory over Devin Haney in Brooklyn. Garcia, written off by almost everyone prior to the fight, missed the weight for the contest so didn’t walk away with the belt – how much did his erratic behaviour in the build-up work affect Haney? Elsewhere, Sam Noakes won the vacant European lightweight title over Yvan Mendy at York Hall to take his record to 14-0. And with the GGBC Live Show just ONE MONTH AWAY, George and Dec have visited the Shepherd’s Bush Empire to start making plans.
