    Quality
    This podcast just gets better each week. The Montel Griffin one this week was exceptional. Tris manages to tease out the behind the scenes stuff that I find so interesting. Montel should be in the Hall of Fame. I look forward to the incoming podcasts this year.

    Never before heard Tyson avoided Foreman. Makes sense. Tris caught Big George in a certain mood. Great stuff.

    Easiest five star review I've ever left
    In my opinion, this is the best boxing podcast out there. Mr. Dixon delivers engaging long-form interviews with fascinating personalities (fighters, trainers, promoters, writers, etc.). Thanks to him, I've developed a newfound respect for fighters from the U.K.

    Getting better and better
    Really enjoy each interview. Be great to get Scott Harrison or Michael Brodie. Sorry to here about the hassles with the YouTube channel. Keep up the great work Tris.

    The best
    Learning about life through medium of legends. Brilliant to be a listener on this journey with Tris Dixon.
  • Expat in Greece
    Excellent
    Along with Costello and Bunce’s twice weekly program this is the best boxing podcast I’ve managed to find. It’s full of hundreds of poignant and funny anecdotes and Tris manages to ask some tough questions without ever sounding like he’s being combative or salacious. Hugely enjoyable!
  • Bran L K
    Outstanding!
    If you love boxing history, you’ll love it!

    Best Boxing Podcast By A Mike.
    In depth chats with people across the boxing spectrum. Incredible story telling. Tris is a perfect host poking printing the subject as and when needed. The Billy Graham one is crazy, making tea and giving his frank version of the work. Keep up the good work.
  • Luca Pierucci
    The best podcast
    I was hard on Tris at first because of the poor audio. He’s fixed that problem, and the result is quite simply the best podcast by a long stretch. Parts sports history and social history, it brings to life the great fighters, trainers and promoters of the past and present. No one does an interview like Tris, he’s an artist.
  • stevequincy
    My favorite podcast
    Started with the Russell Steltz interview and I’ve been working my way backwards. I’m about 6 deep and everyone has been stellar. Tris is the best.

    Good company, amazing podcast
    If you follow boxing then this is the podcast for you. There’s no screaming or ranting, just boxing talk. I remember after Lennox Lewis lost his title I ended up in a coffee shop late at night sitting at a table with my father, the amazing Harold Lederman, Gill Clancy and Larry Merchant. We sat talking boxing into the night. This podcast reminds me of those night. People chatting openly about the good times.. my hobby is hiking and climbing mountains. Many are over 14,000ft high. Those are very long days. At 3am I’m on the mountain making ground. I use Tris’ podcast to keep me company. Tris is an expert. I also love his writing, look at his books on amazon, they are really worth purchasing.

    The boxing podcast was referenced by Craig Burley on Espn FC and I have listened to several interviews since. The stories behind each boxer are remarkable. I also enjoyed the interviews with Ian Darke and Dan Rafael. Hopefully Lennox, Hatton, Holmes, Fernando Vargas, Kevin Iole, Cotto, Froch, obviously Hamed...will be part of the podcast.

    A ‘must listen’
    Don’t go changing. Perfect as it is.
  • FannyPackMyLunch
    Finally... A place for earnest conversation in the boxing world devoid of meaningless hype
    I especially enjoyed the interview with Porter. Don't change your interview style and keep bringing on great fighters. Looking forward to whatever is in the pipeline.
  • hardindr
    Excellent long form interview
    I really enjoyed Tris Dixon’s long form interview with Adam Booth. He was really able to get him to open up and talk about his personal and professional relationship with both George Groves and David Haye. Very skillful interviewer, this Dixon!
