The PorterWay Podcast
A retired two-time world champion boxer breaks down the fight game with his co-hosts, interviewing legends and prospects from inside the ropes.
This is a fighter's podcast for fight fans, led by a recently retired world champion who remains deeply embedded in the sport. It blends technical breakdowns from a practitioner's point of view with the casual, multi-host banter of a barbershop show. Uniquely, it also functions as a media outlet, providing live commentary for smaller promotions and conducting on-location interviews at major industry events like the IBHOF induction weekend.
“Shawn Porter's active role as a peer, mentor, and promoter—not just a retired commentator—gives him unparalleled access and credibility with his guests. The show's format is notably dynamic, shifting from studio talk to live fight commentary to on-the-ground event coverage, making it a versatile hub for boxing content.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Shawn Porter leads interviews with the credibility of a fellow fighter, often opening by establishing a personal connection or shared experience. He uses his own career as a reference point to ask about a guest's journey, particularly their early struggles, motivations, and the importance of fighting on smaller shows. Porter probes for technical details, asking *how* a fighter thinks ("How do you measure how smart a fighter is?") or learns ("Who have you gotten in the ring with where you learned lessons?"). He avoids aggressive questioning, preferring a collaborative, conversational style that draws out insights on craft, mindset, and the business of boxing.
The show primarily uses a three-host panel format (Porter, Brenagh, Zittel) for studio episodes, discussing recent news and breaking down upcoming fights. It frequently shifts formats to live broadcasts from events or regional fight cards, where Porter will conduct multiple interviews or provide live commentary. Episodes often include a "Motivational Message" and a "Fan Questions" segment, sometimes featuring video submissions from listeners.
