    Excluding the live fights, how do you catch up on boxing news and features i.e. what newspapers, websites, videos, boxing magazines, radio, magazine TV shows.

    Boxing News Magazine
    Boxing Monthly Magazine
    Ring Magazine
    Ringside
    Bunce Boxing Hour
    Websites (name in thread)
    Radio/Podcasts (name in thread)
    Video reporters (Seckbach)
    Video reporters (IFilm)
    Print Boxing Columists (name paper/writer in thread)

    I will add a poll where you can have multiple picks, so pick those that you regularly use and in the thread post your top three picks.:good

    If I have missed any relevant outlet, please post in thread (limited numbers on poll, restricts i.e. other video reporters or youtube channels being added).

    Used to collect Boxing News/Ring Magazine. Then I realised I already knew everything in there from reading boxing website like ESB. I was getting the information much quicker and for free.

    If I want to read an article ill go to ESB, if i just want updates ill go to fight news.com

    Not interested in magazines as the news and story's tend to be months behind,everything you need to know is here on the Internet.

    Boxing news - less so nowadays but I may subscribe to the tablet version. Problem is i get most of the day-to-day news online and BN takes just a few hours to read then it's just sitting around

    Boxing Monthly - still has the best written, most interesting features, very good

    ifilm london - what they lack in experience and ability they make up for in relentlessness and prolificness, they're getting better

    Boxrec, boxingseen (terry dooley is very good), boxing writers on twitter

    Ringside/Boxing hour when they appear online

    podcasts no way, yet to hear a good podcast that didn't bore/annoy me

    Ring used to be very good, I still buy on occasion but it's lost its way


    This forum, but never the ESB homepage - its bollocks, the standard of stuff on this website is woeful and the rare good articles get tarnished by that brush; im not prepared to wade through the dross

    This forum (obviously), twitter, the scene, fightnews and I'm subscribed to Boxing News but I don't even read it all most weeks, might cancel and get Monthly.

    The only Ifilm videos I watch are the ones that get posted on here, they do a great job. Oh and Griff's videos. Don't watch Ringside or Bunce's show.

    Don't listen to any podcasts. If there was a boxing equivalent of Football Weekly or The Football Ramble I'd listen to that. As far as I'm aware there isn't.

    I can only dream of a boxing equivalent of James Richardson and Barry Glendenning!

    This place. The forum, obviously not the main page which I think most people think is little more than a joke.
    Check Hook is worth a gander as well as Boxrec.

    Bad Left Hook is my favourite though. Good unbiased articles.
    The Guardian also has some fairly knowledgeable posters as well.
