Faceoff Podcast
Two brothers, a pro fighter and a former national amateur champ, break down boxing from a real practitioner's perspective.
This is a boxing podcast from the fighter's point of view. Two brothers—one a professional boxer, the other a former national amateur champion—debate big matchups, discuss the gritty realities of training like weight cutting and hard sparring, and offer tactical insights that go beyond typical sports commentary. The format is primarily an informal co-hosted debate, with occasional man-on-the-street style episodes polling fighters and coaches in their gym.
“Unlike most fan or journalist-led shows, Faceoff is hosted by two brothers with legitimate boxing credentials, including professional experience and multiple national amateur titles. This provides a grounded, in-the-ring perspective on fight strategy and a boxer's life.”

What you'll be asked on this show
For their gym-based interview segments, the host uses a rapid-fire, consistent set of questions for each person, focusing on fight predictions (winner, method) before closing with a broader legacy question. It functions more as a poll to gather a variety of opinions from within the boxing community rather than a deep-dive interview. The main show format is a co-hosted debate, not an interview.
The main format is an informal, back-and-forth debate between the two brothers, who often take opposing sides on fight predictions. They use their own experiences to illustrate points about training and technique. Occasionally, the format shifts to one host conducting quick, on-location interviews in a boxing gym.
