About this episode

After Mikaela Mayer successfully retained her WBO welterweight belt against Sandy Ryan in Las Vegas on Saturday, Buncey chats to all those involved in the fight at the Fontainebleau. He catches up with a very dejected Sandy Ryan, who is left pondering her future. As for Mayer, could a showdown with Lauren Price for all the belts be next for her?

We also hear from Top Rank’s Todd duBoef and Matchroom’s Frank Smith, who run through the options now for both fighters.

Plus, with Frank Warren’s Queensberry kicking off its new TV partnership this weekend, both Warren and Eddie Hearn tell us why having the UK’s two biggest promoters on the same platform is a game-changer for the sport.
