BoxRec

Tuesday, 20:00 on BBC Radio 5 live

Barry McGuigan and Mike Costello look at how boxers cope with the pressure of giving up the sport and examine why many ex-fighters suffer from mental illness and poverty.

Just heard a trailer for this, they were interviewing Bruno & Benn. Sounded like it'll be a good listen.

Benn went all Christian after he tried to kill himself it was on his book

The sixty minute documentary is on Tuesday 19th between 8pm and 9pm on BBC Five Live. Then from 9pm until 10pm I join Mike in the studio for a look back at some of the issues, a look at Ricky and a glance to the future.
By the way there will be 3 BBC Five Live boxing hours in June!

Adios and enjoy.

Barry killed a man in the ring and still breaks down when it is mentioned. Nobody gets out of the jungle unscathed

Really sad story.

Rhino...I'm not impressed with the timing. It means that I miss Prizefighter.
However, I will be watching it out of the corner of my eye so expect some oohing and arghing!

Adios.

Great couple of hours radio, Steve.
