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.

The TALKBOX series seeks to be the prime, pound-for-pound podcast destination for all things boxing, including news, análisis, 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 Junio 25 Keith Thurman-Shawn Porter fight.
