BTR Boxing Podcast Network
Hosted by BTR Boxing
A UK-based boxing podcast network offering detailed fight previews, recaps, and narrative series on the sport's history and controversies.
This is a multi-format boxing analysis feed from the UK, anchored by host Sean Bastow. Episodes cycle between solo-hosted deep dives, conversational co-hosted fight previews, and post-fight breakdowns. The show is editorially driven, with a clear focus on the 'why' behind a fight, often criticizing the business and political side of the sport, such as sanctioning body decisions or fights seen as 'money grabs'.
“The network's blend of timely fight analysis with well-researched narrative history series like "The Darker Side of Boxing" is a key differentiator. Host Sean Bastow's willingness to critique the sport's sanctioning bodies and express concern for fighter welfare provides a distinct, critical voice.”

The format varies between solo monologues from host Sean Bastow and conversational two-handers with a co-host, Hamed. In co-hosted episodes, Bastow often delivers a lengthy, detailed opening analysis before prompting his partner for input. The shows consistently open with the signature line, "Welcome back to the BTR Boxing Podcast Network."
