Johnny explains why he couldn't let Naseem Hamed's criticism of legendary trainer Brendan Ingle go unanswered and reveals the support he's received from people across his home city of Sheffield. Tony reveals whether he would fight Anthony Joshua if he were still actoive today, why he wants to help AJ rediscover his best form, and recalls the heartbreaking defeat that left him in tears. The pair also revisit Tony's rivalry with David Haye, including how he made the fight happen, how he got under Haye's skin during The Gloves Are Off, and stopped 'The Hayemaker' landing a world exclusive after their first fight. Elsewhere, Johnny explains why he believes Tony was technically superior to Oleksandr Usyk, debates who could finally beat the heavyweight king, and he and Tony give their verdict on a potential Moses Itauma vs Daniel Dubois showdown. He also shares incredible stories from his own career, including having guns pointed at him in Brazil while carrying £30,000 in cash, why he never believed Brendan Ingle when he predicted he'd become world champion and how Barry Hearn helped secure him a financial windfall after retirement. Johnny also fires back at Ben Shalom's recent criticism of him, questions why fighters are leaving Boxxer, and explains why he's sceptical that Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury will ever happen. ───────────────────────────── 🏆 LINKS Fight Your Corner is brought to you by Midnite, the betting app that's built different: https://www.midnite.com/ 18+, please gamble responsibly. ───────────────────────────── 📑CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome To Fight Your Corner 03:02 Brendan Ingle Called Johnny \"An Idiot\" 04:35 How Ingle Convince…","meta_description":"Former world cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson joins Tony Bellew and Charlie Parsons for an unmissable episode of Fight Your Corner.
