I'm in the company of greatest this week with two of the biggest exports to come from Northern Ireland. Champions in their own right. One is a superstar DJ & the other is a Bantamweight World Champion Boxer.
Both living in the Entertainment Capital Of The World & adapting to life during the Coronavirus. The first time in a life time that Las Vegas has ever closed. This is an extended version of the Lockdown with two unbelievable success stories, the first podcast they have done together & it's really worth a listen.
A world champion boxer who fought two of boxing's best, Prince Naseem & Erik Morales & went the full distance with both of them. Never once knocked down in his professional career. From being a champion to more recently finding himself in the depths of despair & coming right back up again.
Fergie has DJ'd all over the world, since sneaking into nightclubs aged 14. To playing 250 dates a year in Vegas, to now enjoying studio life & the first downtime of his career. More recently playing to 150 thousand people at MDL BEAST. The first ever music festival to take place in Saudi Arabia.
Taking me on a road trip with a parrot (a real one). Being refused entry to Turnmills at Ministry Of Sound in London a night that he was headlining. Eventually was allowed in because he was with me. We still to this day don't know who that doorman thought I was.
Sure you know yourself.
(There is a little tiny bit of strong language - This podcast was recorded in advance of the Premier League restarting.)
