When Gerald McClellan & Nigel Benn touched gloves in the centre of the ring back in February 1995 - nobody could be quite sure what was about to happen.

Following one of the most intensely brutal boxing matches of all time, American Gerald McClellan lapses into a coma & began a fight for his life that would leave him with catastrophic brain injuries.

As this episode is released - 27 years after that night, Gerald’s sister & carer Lisa joins us to talk about it all & where Gerald is at today.

We are also joined by former pro & current coach to Artur Beterbiev - ‘Iceman’ John Scully as he tells us how he manages to raise funds for some true boxing legends suffering similar to McClellan.
