Really looking forward to playing Host of 2026 @BoxingHall in Boxings TitleTown Canastota, New York June 11-14. Excited to have @SugarRayLeonard & Michael Spinks and others from the legendary 1976 Olympic Boxing Team serving as Parade Grand Marshals. And perhaps I may finally get my long awaited return match with Leonard who has been ducking me since our epic first encounter in 2012. #boxing #ibhof2026 #ibhofhost #2026ibhofparadegrandmarshals #1976olympicboxingteam

@LeeGrovesBoxing @SmittyBoxing @boxhall Smitty is right! I’ve voted for her the last couple of years at least, she’s been the most deserving on that ballot IMO.

@EricRaskin @LeeGrovesBoxing @boxhall Called a few over her fights including a real pier sixer with Christy Martin that the late great Col Bob and I called back in the day. She really brought it.

When I saw @EricRaskin's story, I immediately recalled @SmittyBoxing and I had Sumya on our podcast. In this clip, she tells us about how her trainer inspired her to box, and the rest is history. Smitty strongly believes that she belongs in the @boxhall, and she is on the ballot:

Congrats @michaelb4jordan #oscarforbestactor2026

Will @michaelb4jordan pick up his first Oscar for Best Actor for his role in Sinners later tonight? He’s got a great shot I think. Ahead of the Oscars coming up in a few hours, take a look at an excerpt of an interview I did with him prior to the release of Creed. We will allow @TheSlyStallone a cameo to tee it up. Enjoy the Academy Awards everybody. #OscarSunday

IN THIS CORNER The Podcast 183. MYTHBUSTER. Not everything you’ve been told or taught regarding the History of Heavyweight Championship fights is true. youtu.be/_leG8UrI6C0

@FredGarvinReal @SmittyBoxing The Mayweather in-ring segment was his best IMHO, but he's done 64 more over the years with the likes of Tyson, Holyfield, Hopkins, Pacquiao, Ward and McCallum. I liked the Nonito Donaire segment as well. They respected @SmittyBoxing enough to detail how they did what they did.

The most compelling part of Carl Weingarten's "myth-busting" video on Johnson-Burns was when he showed what happened after the Jacobs footage was cut off. Here, he tells @SmittyBoxing and me how he reacted when he first saw the resumption of the fight. The show is premiering now.
