## Resource

This week on SDS, we ask the question gripping modern boxing, PEDs… a boxing epidemic? We sit down with Chris Wardrope, chairman of the British and Irish Boxing Authority, and the man directly involved in fighter testing, to tackle the uncomfortable questions. How does testing actually work? What gets flagged? Why do some cases become public while others quietly disappear? And is boxing doing enough to protect its integrity? We also welcome new host Jared Hayter to the team, though he wastes no time throwing Alex and Rah into the deep end with a head-to-head boxing quiz. And, as always, we break down a huge weekend of fights featuring Naoya Inoue, David Benavidez, and the all-British shootout between Conah Walker and Sam Eggington, not to mention the mouth-watering heavyweight clash in Manchester between Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois.
