Taking place this weekend at Madison Square Garden's Hulu Theater, two of the light heavyweight division’s fiercest punchers will put three world title belts at stake in one of the year’s most anticipated showdowns: undefeated WBC and IBF world champion Artur Beterbiev — boxing’s only world champion with a 100 percent knockout ratio — will take on Long Island’s WBO champion Joe Smith Jr, and that story is followed on today's show with news from Wembley (and Joe Joyce), and three upcoming fights from Dudley, England, and then an announcement from Quito, Ecuador, and we conclude with weigh-ins from the Doubletree Hotel in California, and a report concerning Sheffield's prospect Dalton Smith, who'll be fighting Sam O'maison in August. https://talkinfight.com/todays-boxing-news-headlines-ep193-boxing-news-today/ Watch live on TalkinFight.com and more episodes on YouTube.com/c/TalkinFight #TalkinFight #Boxen247 #BoxingNews

Cedric Benn understands that in order to grow a new generation of fans for the sport of boxing, change needs to start "from the ground up" - in other words it starts with the youngsters. Cedric makes boxing fun - and puts the fun in "fundamentals" - for the men, women and children in his gym and teaches the critical transitions boxers need to undertsand to migrate from a regional competitor to an international champion. https://youtu.be/Qo1P3Xenuig Enjoy.  @wordsofwisdom @educate @inform @boxing

 Talkin Fight  - click link for the chat This conversation digs a bit deeper than The Muppets, and explores how the show's creators (unhappy being portrayed as a chidren's show) moved to become accepted among mainstream adults around the world, and how this scenario can be exploited by the boxing industry if the appeal of a younger audience is the goal, and not simply those who want to see celebrities get into a fight.

Boxing and Team Management: Human Relations In this special episode we deal with the issue of migrating a young audience toward the appeal of traditional boxing, in a similar manner that The Muppets, which was originally introduced to children on Sesame Street, was eventually successfully targeted at adults. https://youtu.be/o-oKRBmYVhA

Here's my chat with HR specialist Randy Nanjad, who has also researched (very extensively) The Muppets. As promised, we explore the connection between what made The Muppets popular and the sport of boxing, on several levels; from what motivates fighters to what motivates and excites the fans today, expecially the new fans, who appreciate the experience that is being provided by the social media platforms, for example, and the various teams needed to support the growth of an athlete's career and ensure success along the way.
