The Best Boxing Podcasts Worth Your Commute in 2026

Boxing podcasts occupy a specific niche: they work for people who want to go deeper than fight-night coverage allows but do not have time to read long-form boxing journalism. The commute, the gym, the cooking - boxing podcasts fit into time that is otherwise unremarkable.

Here are the ones worth subscribing to in 2026, sorted by what they do well.

Fight Analysis and News

The Boxing Podcast (Steve Lillis). The most consistently good UK boxing podcast. Lillis covers the professional scene with genuine knowledge, decent guests, and a willingness to disagree with consensus opinion. The post-fight analysis episodes are the strongest content. Weekly release schedule. Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

The Fight Site Podcast. More analytical than most boxing podcasts. They cover technique, tactics, and the business of boxing in a way that assumes the listener already knows the basics. Not for beginners, but excellent for anyone who wants to understand why fights play out the way they do.

iFL TV Podcast. Kugan Cassius and the iFL team have built the largest independent boxing media platform in the UK. The podcast features fighter interviews, promoter conversations, and news coverage. The access they get to fighters and trainers is the main draw.

History and Culture

The Bunce Boxing Hour (Steve Bunce). Steve Bunce is the most knowledgeable boxing journalist in the UK and has been for decades. His podcast ranges from current fights to deep historical pulls that no other boxing media bothers with. If you want to understand boxing culture rather than just boxing results, this is essential.

In The Corner. BBC Radio 5 Live boxing podcast. Mike Costello and Steve Bunce. The production quality is high, the access is good, and the analysis is balanced. The BBC Sport boxing section supplements the podcast with written coverage.

For People Who Also Train

Boxing Science Podcast. Danny Wilson (Boxing Science founder) covers the sports science of boxing: conditioning, nutrition, weight management, injury prevention. This is the most practically useful podcast for people who train rather than just watch. The episodes on periodisation and weight cutting are particularly relevant for amateur boxers.

The Boxing Dietitian. Nutrition-focused boxing podcast. Detailed and evidence-based rather than bro-science. Useful for anyone managing weight for competition or trying to optimise training nutrition.

What Makes a Boxing Podcast Worth Listening To

The best boxing podcasts share a quality: the hosts know boxing from the inside, not just as commentators. The Fight Site team have trained. Bunce has been ringside for decades. Danny Wilson has conditioned professional fighters. This inside knowledge produces better analysis than general sports podcasting.

Avoid podcasts that: predict fight outcomes with false certainty, spend more time on promotion drama than on boxing, or only cover the biggest PPV fights while ignoring the rest of the sport.

At Honour and Glory, several members listen to boxing podcasts on the commute to and from training. The Adult Recreational class runs weekday evenings.
