Blimey that was emotional. Watched it on YouTube, my missus was in the next room and was in absolute bits! Respect to the man, I wish him all the luck in the world.

Very moving. But also funny, warm and with a measure of hope. I don't know anything about Simon', the host, but he does get people to open up. Good luck, Ian and Cathy.

My favourite yet, Was emotional funny and inspiring. Seemed very fitting with everything that's going on around us at the moment in a way . Also loved the way he spoke about Jan Porter. The segment around the tackle box had me 😢

Powerful stuff. A purge of the soul at certain points. 100% respect for the man.

On a side note - The Korda podcasts are simply brilliant. Simon just seems to get the guests talking/sharing with gentle prodding.
A true skill.

Never met Tong but genuinely shed a tear during that one.
Wishing him all the best in every possible way.

I was also cracking up at some bits - he has a real way with words!

Great podcast again from Korda and the team.

That was a hard listen at times but parts of it also cracked me up. I must say I was a little surprised at mr fairbrass for getting the hump with tong when he took a well paying full time job. If Danny wanted him that badly then perhaps he should have employed him full time not just as a consultant . I find it odd that Fanny wasn't pleased for him. He never struck me as a guy who would allow business to ruin a friendship. I hope for dannys sake he makes his peace with tong whilst he still can. Regrets a horrible thing.

Cashy didn't come out of it too well. Does he even work in the industry anymore or is he a full time boxing trainer now?

I had the pleasure of standing in the queue for the coffee machine on Sunday morning at the hotel where we stayed for the NAS with tiny tong. I'd never spoken to him before. He was his usual smiling happy engaged self. Now listening to the podcast it turns out he'd been for a cancer scan the day before. You'd never have known it. My god there's a guy who understands positivity.

Good luck ting tong. There's many that could learn a thing or two from you.
