I grew up watching Ricky, some of my favourite boxing memories are because of Ricky and I’m proud that I got to witness the special atmosphere he generated at the M.E.N. There will never be another. There’s only one!!
Another mention. The segment about the contact with the crowds eye and connecting with their energy was pure gold. Fantastic content Tris. Never heard him talk about Tyzu like this.
It was one hell of a ride that Ricky took us on! So many great nights. I know he got down on himself after the losses and felt like he’d let us down. I don’t know what it is that he thought we expected from him? All he ever did us was proud and he still does. Nothing but love for the man.
@@boxinglifestories9546 oh it will dont worry, my favorite is the brian Schumacher podcast, i was padded up with brian back in 2005, it was great to see him again on you're podcast.
Tris hope you read this comment. B.L.S has truly been my bible to past 18 months and genuinely never been so clued up on my favourite sport. This is one of the best. Also, Damage is brilliant. Keep it up mate. 👍🏻
I’ve listened to all of these episodes & I honestly think Tris is the best at it because he knows the sport & the boxers inside out , you can tell people get bored answering questions to people that are not really interested in the answer but Tris is actually interested & it shows
The most well loved and supported British fighter ever. Did it effortlessly. Just stayed himself. Fought Mayweather AND Pacquiao in their primes (I know Mayweather had a bit of time out but he looked as good as I'd ever seen him against Ricky). Fantastic story
We all have a story! Imagine having mental health after achieving everything you ever wanted to in the sport, i.e Ricky Hatton and Tyson fury and frank bruno, maybe you should look in to the people that stuggle with it that didn’t get to achieve what they wanted to in the sport through no fault of there own???
There are 150 interviews in my archives. Not everyone made it. You can hear the stories here podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/boxing-life-stories/id1436759230?i=1000534007526
@@boxinglifestories9546 if there on your channel mate they’ve done a half decent job of making it tho yes? Or done something half decent with there life after boxing like Kieran Farrell?
@@boxinglifestories9546 and it wasn’t a dig at you mate it was at the people who have the mental health issues after achieving there dreams which I struggle to get my head around 🤷🏽♂️
Needs to let this pacman fight go...... at no point in that 2 rounds was he in it. It was the most one sided big fight ever. Years ago he claimed he was winning the 2nd round by a country mile his words granted he may if been unwell at the time Good record though but was a weight bully 140 couldnt do jackshit when moved up 147 gifted win v collazo.... At 140 blatantly ducked witter which would of been a massive unification fight he knew his style was all wrong for him. And also ducked cotto theirs footage of his team saying they wanted no part of cotto and took a diffrent direction
Is Tris trying t get boxing band with his book to make a few quid for himself and get the do gooders on board. Boxers are responsible for there own choices in life there enough people trying to get boxing band shame one of or own trying to do it too. Love the podcasts and what he done for boxing news
I can only guess you have never fought and understand the consequences of long career..training methods and cultures we have in boxing. Im 39 in 2 months and have been competing for 24 years..the book has been very enlightening for me. It has also helped me change the methods i use to coach my students. There is a massive elephant in the room that nobody speaks of in Boxing...this book is very important education to fighters and coaches. Lastly i highly recommend the book! Tris spends alot of time documenting past fighters to shed light on the issues of head trauma/CTE
@@skud187 boxed and trained all my life, just think people can make there own decisions and with all the do gooders trying to get everything now days one of our own is not helping, people can’t live in glass houses and be denied the sports they enjoy. What about other people with dementia who never boxed what can ya blame that on or the boxers ie jake lamotta who had some brutal contests and live to a good old age.
@@richardwetton4323 I wish there were more examples of Lamota, but sadly theres more Toneys, Holyfields, Bowes! I fought as a pro Thai boxer for 24 years and had brutal wars in the gym and ring..last 3 years transitioning into boxing and now have my pro card..just because i have my faculties and im ok cognitively (allbeit memory is shocking) i have to ask myself serious questions? Are these methods correct? I know the culture around it is wrong..hardly anyone does technical spars..im all for the sport, just think the methods and culture need revising. A good freind who is a world renowned coach once said "a fight is like a car crash" you gotta prepare them...but in small doses...they cant be open sparring all the time...
@@skud187 I do get and respect what your saying. My thing is and I like tris Dixon like the pods and done a cracking job at boxing news, my thing is is a boxing man putting a spot light on the sport that could potentially ruin it for people who love it, and he’s gonna make a few quid out of it. There enough people want boxing banned. When I boxed as well as everyone else and other sports rugby wrestling yank football etc ya know what your getting into and that’s on the individual. How things are going kids at school won’t be able to write there name without gloves on.
@@richardwetton4323 I am totally against boxing/combat sports being banned..i grew up on a heroin infested estate in a single parent family and am a product of how the sport can change lives for kids especially those who were bullied (me) its unfortunate amd fortunate that it is someone in boxing having this conversation...but i cant think of a better person given his own journey and time spent with these legends. At the moment there is no dialogue which we need..we cant have nothing or the likes of Ted Cheeseman who is almost certainly enroute for some serious health issues down the line..the methods and culture needs to adapt and change.. i know lads who will box on a weekend...lose and 2 days later sparring like animals because of the "warrior code" there is alot of toxic masculinity issues we all need to address. Ofcourse there are risks and we accept them as the late great Nazim Richards said "cant swim without getting wet" but we need to be smarter
It is 100% true that Ricky’s late stage career performances would have been a lot better if he didn’t balloon up and down in weight. Abusing his body as he did. You should be working on technique and tactics from day 1. Not having to run a fat camp everytime you prepare for a fight.
For 99% of the population that’s true but you’d lose the character of some of the greats and that’s what made them great so not everything is perfect but it’s what it’s meant to be at the time
That’s true mate but the public fall for the character, they don’t care if you do 10k runs or circuit training. They saw someone who was like them, sniff heads and getting drunk most days.
I like Ricky but don't know why he chooses to he so unhealthy. I get that he'll never train like he did as a boxer but just 10 percent of his old training and eating a little less junk would make such a difference.
A still think ricky should have got a rematch with mayweather straight after his loss. He had him on the ropes with a jab in the second and let the situation with the ref and floyd running get to him after that
Frank Warren done good with that actually, they waited for Tyszu to age then capitalised. The name was good but he was past his best by a long stretch. Definitely a thin resume 💯
Ricky, the whole UK loves him. Never has a fighter in the UK created such a loyal following
Prince Patel?
@@daveallott3467 I'd follow him in to the depths of hell. To be fair, that lad is pure entertainment
A dont
Cotto was the man
Bruno?
@@BoerboelBladeandAriaTV I said UK but yeah Cotto was the man
This is one of the best boxing channels on UA-cam 🙏
True story
Totally
Possibly THE best

Brilliant, thank you fella. Love Ricky!
Ricky hatton should come back for an exhibition.
Did you see him against Bererra? Top notch stuff.
This channel should have way more subscribers
Another mention. The segment about the contact with the crowds eye and connecting with their energy was pure gold. Fantastic content Tris. Never heard him talk about Tyzu like this.
Brilliant as ever Tris
Excellent interview..Ricky looking at peace, great to see.
The best boxing channel on UA-cam and Spotify. Brilliant Tris x

I used to watch all of his fights thanks for the memories 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻
Superbly researched as always. Loving the recent spate of interviews with Mancunians, the best people in the world
Really enjoyed that especially that comment at the end regarding fighting Duran
great champion...great fighter in an era of superstars
His comment about Roberto Duran at the very end cracked me up! Very honest.
Great interview thanks for sharing Ricky
Nothing less than a legend
Been waiting on this one. Only one ricky hatton
Once this channel gets on the algorithm it's gonna blow up. Mint content
I hope so!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Least I can do. Hope to work in boxing media myself one day and you’re a great advocate for an unbiased opinion on boxing. Thanks again. Take care 👍🏻🥊

One of the best
Great days following Ricky
What a man in the ring brought so much joy great day s
Great interview as always, thanks Tris.
God bless you great ambassador for mental health ❤️
Another great interview tris keep it up 💯 smashing it
Great interview sir love Ricky! 👌👏👊👍😉
Who will interview Tris at 200 episodes ? Keep up the great work 👊 Hatton walking talking legend of British boxing
Would honestly say one of the best weeks of my adult life watching Ricky Hatton in Vegas for.the Castillo fight..... just like 'The Hangover 😅
National treasure 💯🇬🇧💪🥊🙏❤️🙏
Great content on this channel hat's off
Been waiting for this
Great interview. Hate to criticise Ricky's mic is 100% you sound as your on the other side of the room.
Legend 💙
I’m not a big snooker fan but I enjoyed watching Ricky play
Darts
Get Wayne Rigby On Tris, he has some great boxing stories. Should have been a lot bigger than he was
Surprised you’ve only got so few subscribers 🤔 great channel 👍
It’s tough out there!
For boxing in the UK, 7k is not bad at all.
The most well loved and supported British fighter ever. Did it effortlessly. Just stayed himself. Fought Mayweather AND Pacquiao in their primes (I know Mayweather had a bit of time out but he looked as good as I'd ever seen him against Ricky). Fantastic story
Love Ricky top bloke
Great fighter 💯
Seems like such a decent guy
Interviewer tells Rick to hold his mic up. Carries out the whole interview with his own mic at waist level.
Yes, my bad. We also used the wrong audio for me on the video, which sucks. It’s way clearer on the audio podcast
Star x good to see him laughing again
I'd love to see Carl Froch on here

IF RICKY CAME BACK NOW HE CUD STILL FILL THE ETIHAD
Come off the booze Ricky
Come of telling a full grown man what to do Dominic
Top fella but all the fighters leave him, hes not a top trainer, think its more a hobby
Wats peoples opinions on these retired boxers coming out at 50 plus its making a mockery now sad too see holyfielďs fight now riddick bowe ffs
It is 100% true that Ricky’s late stage career performances would have been a lot better if he didn’t balloon up and down in weight. Abusing his body as he did.
You should be working on technique and tactics from day 1.
Not having to run a fat camp everytime you prepare for a fight.

Cheers for sharing that with us
I like Ricky but don't know why he chooses to he so unhealthy. I get that he'll never train like he did as a boxer but just 10 percent of his old training and eating a little less junk would make such a difference.
A still think ricky should have got a rematch with mayweather straight after his loss. He had him on the ropes with a jab in the second and let the situation with the ref and floyd running get to him after that
In retrospect was Kostya Tsyzu slightly over rated? His best win was a prime unbeaten Zab Judah and Shambah Mitchell. He has a bit of a thin resume.
What you know about he had over 350 amateur fights Tszyu is one of the best recent light welterweights
Not really not when no one give him a chance of winning
Frank Warren done good with that actually, they waited for Tyszu to age then capitalised. The name was good but he was past his best by a long stretch. Definitely a thin resume 💯
@@jameslaude3654 stop talking out ya arse
You forgot Julio Cesar Chavez 😂 one of the greats
