    I was just curious as to what methods people use to keep upto date with the latest boxing goings on or stories.

    Any decent podcast recommendations?

    My current sort of routine is, I tend to use ID Boxing/Boxing News for their show previews and reviews. Andy Clarke and Rob Tebbut do a very good job with them, I hope they continue to grow that platform. I follow Benson on twitter as he's a one stop shop for all the latest news and this forum is usually a decent read to get a bit more idea of what's generally happening away from the shows.

    I've long strayed away from IFL and Boxing Social as I have no desire to know what the promoters favourite crisps are.

    Ignore all the podcasts and buy Boxing News instead

    I don't these days. Got a couple of podcasts subscribed to that I listen to in the run up to big fights and after. Gave up on all the YouTube channels. Even Boxing ID can do one with that Castillo nonsense. I checked IFL again a few weeks ago and it was Chisora and a bunch of porn stars being interviewed at an 'influencer' event. I felt vindicated.

    Boxing is a mess. Between fights not getting made and drug use being normalised on top of the lad bible bells the sport seems to attract I can't be bothered with it. Wake me up when a fight starts.

    I have a few podcasts I listen to off and on, the BBC 5live boxing which Steve Bunce now presents, Chris Mannix who is better on podcast than as commentator and Tris Dixon's life stories.

    Not much youtube now unless someone posts it here.

    I'm really struggling to find a media outlet where the interviews are 'brutally' honest enough. If only their was enough 'Raw' content these days.

    Subscribe to ID/Boxing News, read the BBC website at dinner and follow the promotional companies on Instagram.

    Used to have a Twitter account just to follow Benson but he started tweeting about KSI and Logan Paul so binned it off.

    I don’t read the comments. Must have done at some point though, which I don’t anymore.

    I did come off Twitter because of moronic comments though, don’t miss it either.
