    Good work.

    I hope your viewers understand him - in my experience (fairly limited) Americans don't really see sarcasm/irony as quickly or as naturally as British people do.

    Will make sure I'm listening for that one :good

    Chris Eubank

    Might need to extend the show to 3 hours for it but I enjoy hearing his thoughts on boxing and whatever else comes up.

    The guest list for the show has been impressive. Random question though, is it possible to increase the volume of the callers/interviewees, so that it's at the same level with yourselves? I've noticed on a few different radio podcasts this can be an issue, not just with OTR. It only really makes a difference when I'm listening in busy public place, on the way to work etc.

    So yeah....Chris Eubank :D

    Cheers for getting Froch on the show. Other guests id like would be Steve Collins, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank - the time they were all fighting was a brilliant era for boxing in the UK, i reckon all three of them would be quite entertaining and interesting. I'd agree with the guy above about seeing if you can do something with the volume of guest interviews, sometimes it can be a bit difficult to hear them. And get Messer back on, he was quality :D Other than that, keep up the good work :good

    I've looked into Kostya Tszyu. In fact, I tried contacting him at the same time I contacted Leonard and Hagler. I will look into him again.

    Dundee would be great.

    I understand you are looking for fighters, but why not open to the international scene, also to promoters/writers etc.

    Kalle Sauerland: ask him on Super Six, Abraham, Kessler, Sylvester, Valuev-Haye, Mack-Murat etc.

    Joe Koizumi: ask him how he got into boxing, the Japanese boxing scene, Kamedas, Hasegawa, Nishioka, Naito, etc., and Tyson-Douglas, very interesting interview

    Sampson Lewkowicz, his background before boxing, how he managed to represent boxers from all around the world (Gabriel Campillo, Sergio Martinez, Isaac Hlatschawayo, Michael Katsidis, Chris John, Celestino Caballero, Marvin Sonsona, Simphiwi Ngqoyi, Donnie Nietes)

    Writers/media guys like Steve Bunce, Thomas Hauser, Dan Rafael

    US TV executives, Showtime's Ken Hershman, HBO's Ross Greenburg etc. on boxing's future on TV
