As the world awaits the ground-shaking battle between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, we peer beyond the hype and bright lights of boxing. With top class boxers sometimes stepping in the ring only twice a year, this episode explores the hard-work that’s done behind the scenes to achieve greatness. World class commentator Mike Costello has been broadcasting live boxing commentary for BBC radio since 2005. He brings us a glimpse of what it’s been like to have had a front row seat to some of the most epic fights of all time. Describing his work as “painting the pictures”, Mike explores how the pandemic has impacted the sport - how without the roar of the crowd, all that remains is raw emotion. Learn to appreciate the drama of a journey and discover how to get to the heart of an audience.
