Mike and Steve on why Billy Joe Saunders' win over David Lemieux matters so much.

Mike and Steve explain why Billy Joe Saunders' win over David Lemieux matters so much for British boxing.

Mike Costello and Steve Bunce explain why Billy Joe's Saunders' win over David Lemieux is the best performance of a British boxer in 2017 and possibly, of all time.  
Also, what factors led to Mo Farah triumphing over Anthony Joshua in this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award?  Mike compares the two athletes' achievements. Steve asks why the UK online boxing community doesn't rally round its champions. Plus, Mike and Steve weigh in on what a free and happier Tyson Fury needs to be doing right now as he plans his return. 

And finally, you know who Mike's favourite boxer on the planet right now is.  But who is the worst professional fighter he's ever seen? Mike reveals all. Plus assessments of Katie Taylor and Nicola Adams' recent bouts and what they mean for the future of women's boxing.
