THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas

Hosted by Teddy Atlas

Hall of Fame boxing trainer and commentator Teddy Atlas provides deep, technical analysis of current fights, framed by lessons in life and sport.

The brief

This is a masterclass in fight analysis, where Teddy Atlas, often prompted by a co-host, breaks down upcoming and recent boxing and UFC bouts. Atlas goes far beyond surface-level predictions, dissecting fighter psychology, strategy, and technique with the granular detail of an elite trainer. He uses his signature analogies and philosophical outlook to connect the action inside the ring to broader principles of life, character, and adversity.

What distinguishes this podcast is Atlas's unparalleled credibility as a Hall of Fame trainer who has been in the corner for world title fights. His analysis is famously rooted in the mental and emotional side of fighting, which he often states is "75%" of the game, a perspective inherited from his mentor, Cus D'Amato.
