George Groves and Dec Taylor are joined this week by referee Ian John-Lewis. John-Lewis was downgraded for his scorecard in Josh Taylor’s fight with Jack Catterall back in February 2022. The undisputed light-welterweight clash saw Taylor awarded a split-decision victory and, ahead of their rematch, John-Lewis is here to give his side of the story. As the subject matter in this episode is a controversial topic, we have reached out to the British Boxing Board of Control but as yet they have not responded with a statement.
