This is a fantastic audio documentary from Jake Sharpe at BBC Radio Northamptonshire about Kieran Conway and his recent fight with George Liddard. Well worth a listen, particularly for the insight into pre-fight weight cutting.

My latest article looks at the first professional defeat for Floyd Patterson. Not many people thought he lost, but the three people who mattered did. Or at least, they said they did. #boxing

Instead of Jon Voight and Ricky Schroder as father and son in The Champ, we nearly had Ryan O'Neal and his real life son, Griffin. @matthewboothauthor.bsky.social and I discuss how that might have turned out on the latest episode of the Boxing Movie Podcast.

Hitchcock's NOTORIOUS (1946) is a spy drama, a twisted romance and a classic Film Noir. Is it his best film? Join me and Brad @ahsweetmystery.bsky.social at Fedora as we delve into its mysteries.
