TALKBOX podcast Tackles Tough Subjects

Everlast Worldwide, the world’s leading manufacturer, marketer and licensor of boxing, MMA and fitness equipment, is proud to offer the second installment of TALKBOX, a boxing-themed podcast on the brand-new #TeamEverlast Podcast Network.
The boxing world and indeed all pockets of the globe experienced a massive loss last week, with the death of The Greatest, Muhammad Ali.
The legacy of the greatest sports entertainer the planet has and will ever know is examined by persons who were there by his side for the monumental battles, both inside and outside the ring, in pod No. 2.
Podcast host Michael Woods spends time with Ali’s “Rumble u džungli” partner George Foreman, who talks about how dearly he misses a man who become a treasured friend.
Woods also interviews sports journalist Jerry Izenberg, a confidante to the departed pugilist. The writer enters the Boxing Hall of Fame this weekend, and sheds light on what made Ali such a bright, shining light, a credit to humanity.
Konačno, Woods and TALKBOX listeners hear from Gene Kilroy, Ali’s business advisor and right-hand man who shares a most poignant message to Ali, who he knows is in a better place, with other champions of days past.
The TALKBOX series seeks to be the prime, pound-for-pound podcast destination for all things boxing, including news, analysis, interviews and the proverbial much more.
In the first pod, Woods chatted with boxing super-fan Rosie Perez, the actress/activist who talked about the last time she was involved in a fist-fight, and who she likes to win the Lipanj 25 Keith Thurman-Shawn Porter fight.

We’re extremely excited to partner with him on TALKBOX and look forward to building something great.
I am as or more excited for this assignment than any I’ve taken on since I started covering boxing in the early 90s. And that’s largely because I’m so proud and pleased to be working with the people at Everlast,” said Woods, a Brooklyn resident who is publisher/editor of his own site, NYFIGHTS.com, and also contributes to the RING website. “The world is a better place for having boxing.

Službena izjava tima Gunna o dodavanju Kevina "Kimbo Slice" Fergusona

 

Hackensack, Nju Džerzi (Lipanj 7, 2016) - Svjetski bokserski prvak u teškoj kategoriji Bare Knuckle Bobby Gunn duboko je tužan zbog smrti Kevina "Kimbo Slicea" Fergusona.

Posljednjih nekoliko godina, kružile su glasine o dvoboju između Gunna i legende o dvorišnim borbama koji su postali profesionalni borac.

Njih su dvoje razgovarali o meču, a Gunn je osobno izazvao Kimba nakon hrabrog pobjede nad Kenom Shamrockom u lipnju 2015. Zbog onoga što je javno rečeno jedno o drugome, Gunn je pomislio da je to možda intenzivan sastanak. Iznenađujuče, bilo je upravo suprotno.

"Mislio sam da će među nama biti puno neprijateljstva otkako se raspravljalo o borbi i bio sam prilično uporan u suočavanju s njim,”Rekao je Gunn. "Istina je, a to možete vidjeti u videu na YouTubeu, bio je vrlo drag čovjek. Kad su kamere bile isključene, na kraju smo razgovarali o tome kako su naši sinovi bili i koji su bili borci, naše obitelji i druge stvari. U tom trenutku, Zaradio sam više poštovanja prema njemu kao prema čovjeku nego što bih ikad imao da se borimo. "

Prošlu noć, Gunn je obaviješten da je Kimbo primljen u bolnicu i da je u lošem stanju. Ubrzo nakon toga, više prodajnih mjesta izvijestilo je da je preminuo u 42. Kao obiteljski čovjek prvi, a borac drugi, Gunn je bio shrvan.

“Bilo je vrlo tužno pročitati da je prošao, posebno u tako mladoj dobi i tako brzo. Ima šestero djece i ljubavnu suprugu koju je ostavio iza sebe. Jednom kad prođeš pored grubog uličnog borca, Kevin Ferguson bio je jako draga osoba i svi koji su ga upoznali osjećali su se isto. Želio bih uputiti sućut njegovim prijateljima, obožavatelji i najvažnije njegova obitelj.

Gunn također planira odati počast Kimbu i njegovoj obitelji u ringu.

U mojoj sljedećoj borbi, Branit ću svoje prvenstvo golih zglobova protiv Shannon Ritch. Borba bi trebala biti u blizini njegovog rodnog grada Miamija, Florida i ja ćemo obranu posvetiti Kimbu Sliceu. Htio bih osobno pozvati njegovu obitelj da prisustvuje događaju. 305 zauvijek."
