Steve Bunce

We'll do the walk on the track and that's where we'll do the pre-fight pod.

Darren, it's been a pleasure and a delight talking to you.

Always a pleasure.

Anthony Joshua is back.

July 25th, he fights for the first time.

since the crash in Lagos back in December and since his fight a few days earlier against Jake Paul.

He's fighting a man called Christian Pringer, who was originally from Albania.

He's based now in America.

He's lost one, but he's won 20, all of them by stoppage, including the last three in the first round.

OK, he hasn't fought guys that have fought for world titles, but as AJ said in the interview, you've still got to get the guys out of there.

AJ is back.

I'm Steve Bunce, and this has been 5 Live Boxing.

He gets on his knees and kisses the turf.

So one minute I'm on a camel, the next thing I'm sitting by a pyramid, the next thing I'm ringside for one of the most extraordinary fights in heavyweight history.

And now, well, I'm in a pub somewhere in London talking to the one man that's got me out of my house, Rico Verhoeven.

I'm Steve Bunce and this is Five Live Boxing.

So, Rico, first of all, welcome to London.

I understand it's been a busy... Have you slept since the fight?
