The light heavyweight division is one of the oldest of the "original" divisions, and Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol is but an extension of the division's history. It's a necessary fight that nearly everyone wanted. On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor teams up with Compubox operator and fellow history guy Aris Pina to preview Beterbiev-Bivol and discussion a host of unsung, forgotten and underrated light heavyweights from history. The International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York has been around since 1990, and there aren't too many history podcasts out there where the hosts have nearly 30 years of IBHOF voting between them. On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, two IBHOF voters discuss a number of fighters on the modern ballot. Which fighters are deserving of the vote? Which are deserving of being on the ballot? Which aren't? Who SHOULD be on the ballot that isn't? We tackle these questions and more! SUBSCRIBE! Follow us on social media!
