  • David Haye | If you give it the big’un and you flop, you’re gonna get stick 💥
    2024/09/19

    In this episode, we are joined by two-weight world champion David Haye. He’s one of only three men - with Evander Holyfield and Oleksandr Usyk - to have won world titles at both cruiserweight and heavyweight.

    After becoming the first Brit to reach a world amateur final, David turned pro and quickly became known for punching power, as illustrated when he stopped both Jean-Marc Mormeck and Enzo Maccarinelli to become the unified cruiserweight world champion. He then moved up to heavyweight where, despite conceding 7 stone in weight, he beat the giant 7ft-plus Russian Nikolay Valuev to become the WBA champion. Eventually, he faced Wladimir Klitschko in a unification bout but he was soundly beaten and his post-fight excuse of a broken little toe severely damaged his standing among fight fans. Thereafter, came controversy and frustration: a much-publicised brawl with Derek Chisora in Germany led to a contest between the pair where David was victorious. But, a highly anticipated fight with Tyson Fury fell through as David suffered injuries that would keep him out of the ring for a long time. He eventually returned and fought Tony Bellew twice before retiring following his defeat in their rematch.

    Despite his success, David has been a sometimes divisive figure with the boxing public. Here, he tackles everything: becoming a two-weight world champion, his defeats to Klitschko and Bellew, why he made some of his controversial statements, and he gives his thoughts on Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. He also explains why Saudi Arabia’s takeover is good for boxing and tantalisingly, he reveals whether his career may not yet be over.

  • NLD is a MUST-WIN for both teams and have English clubs underachieved in the UCL? | Three Up Front
    2024/09/12

    The Champions League is back and looking very different this season. But will it be more entertaining?

    Simon, Graeme and Troy discuss the new format and question whether English teams have been really punching their weight until now.

    Graeme explains why Arsenal must win the North London derby. Simon asks whether fans are too loyal to homegrown talent that simply isn't good enough for the first team and Troy suggests that Arsenal's left wing slot is up for grabs, and that Raheem Sterling is the man to take it.

  • Ten Hag’s January deadline, Spain next for TAA? & Rangers need cash
    2024/09/05

    What are Man Utd now? Is Trent Alexander-Arnold off to Real Madrid? And how can Rangers catch up with Celtic?

    Simon Jordan, Graeme Souness and Troy Deeney clash on these and more questions in the latest Three Up Front.

    Manchester United's capitulation to Liverpool sees them discuss why they still have no system of play after two years under Erik Ten Hag and how long he may have left at the club. They also debate whether Marcus Rashford still deserves his place in the United XI, how Virgil van Dijk displayed true leadership and if Arne Slot is slowly phasing out Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield...

    Elsewhere, Troy gives his viewpoint on his old gaffer Sean Dyche's situation at Everton, how he thinks he's dealing with it and why he believes the players need a meeting behind closed doors as they once again prop up the rest of the Premier League. Graeme gives his verdict on his former club's Rangers' defeat to Celtic and they deliberate on whether Lee Carsley can bring something new to the England team and if the job may be his to lose already.

    2024/08/15

    On today’s episode we are joined by one of the most dominant defenders in Premier League history.

    Now a manager with experience in England, the Netherlands and the USA, Jaap joins the show to give us the inside scoop on his rocky relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, the controversy around his failed drugs test as well as his thoughts on the Dutchmen currently plying their trade in the Premier League.
