George Groves Boxing Club | Kano Special

Pioneer of the British rap scene, star of Top Boy and new film The Kitchen, Kano is the latest huge name to join the club.
Kano, George and Dec compare and contrast boxing with the film industry and discuss what it’s like watching old performances back - on the screen or in the ring.
Kano - a long time listener to the pod - talks about his journey from pirate radio to stardom, his friendship with CBS and what it’s like to have someone ring walk to one of your tracks.
We also make another dream fight and George and Dec try to cast themselves in a future boxing film. This is an instant Seeing Stars classic episode.

Great guest. As a big fan of both GGBC and Kano, this is 10/10. Listened to the audio this morning, my only feedback on these Seeing Stars episodes (especially the ones who are big boxing fans) would be can we have a little more boxing talk? Would be great to hear Kano's boxing history, favourite fights/fighters, etc.... Keep up the good work guys, you're super on point.

[@omargod141]

Deserves more views. Kano is a legend

[@JohnSmith-bm6zg]

This collab is outrageous

[@Charlieandersali]

Kano as Sully was next level.

[@seany32]

Kano a mad legend

[@ericaedwards4105]

KANO ❤❤❤

[@DavidBenidorm]

Definitely a plot line with Kano as the lead in a British Jamaican British Level Boxer at the end of his career, fighting only for the money as a opponents for up and coming fighters, whilst going through a personal struggle outside of the ring ultimately coming to a head in the final act when he goes against his former life choices and redeems himself in and out the ring but in sacrifice of his own life.

[@fme4099]

😂😂😂😂

[@d.b.cooper1]

Wow, literally had some old school Kano on rotation since the new year & now he's on here? Jheez, talk about a collision of world. Big up Kano! Legend!

[@ninjasrose1653]

Mental crossover. Everybody in their P’s & Q’s on this one.

[@iNeckle]

[@Gdk830]

GOAT !!!!!!

[@dwaynejones7266]

Got to get the start right. Allow the silly question's about goats.
Just be normal

[@pr9414]

I feel usually when people you wouldn't expect to be your 'typical' grime fan interviews an artist, it seems so forced and relies heavily on stuff they've read on Wikipedia. But this seems very natural like you're interviewing another boxer. Well played boys

[@user-rp9sl1ij1r]

Kano is the London Laurence Fishburne

[@lokoman8377]

Made in the manor

[@staffh3815]

Lil wayne coming out with wilder was cringe😮

[@hundal45]

Sounds like the presenter had a line of coke at the break

[@BadmanahBadman]

Clowns puppets

[@trivadpt]

Underwhelming interviewee and interviewer(Groves)

[@michaelcorleone7598]
