5 Live Boxing with Steve Bunce

Buncey travels to West London to visit one of the city's oldest boxing clubs. He’s joined by three generations of the club's legacy: world champion George Groves, legendary trainer Mick Delaney, and Lucas Rohrig, who will be making his professional debut this weekend. Together, they discuss the gym's rich history, the challenge of relocating after the Grenfell Tower fire, and how some of the UK’s top boxing talent began their careers at the iconic club.

Buncey joins Michael Watson as he walks a mile through the streets of London to raise money for charity.

Surrounded by friends and family as he made his way up The Mall, Buncey chats to Watson himself, as well as Chris Eubank, who reflects on that fateful night and shares his concerns about his son’s upcoming bout with Conor Benn. We also hear from Watson’s neurosurgeon, Peter Hamlyn, his lawyer, Michael Toohig, and the many supporters who turned out to walk alongside their friend.
