Season 3: #15 Scott Welch

Former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion shares his incredible stories, from being on the Tyson-Holyfield I bill in Vegas, to laying out Brad Pitt in Snatch, his on-off friendship with Herbie Hide, brutal sparring sessions and much more on an incredible heavyweight scene that saw him challenge for the WBO title. Here, he talks about the likes of Akinwande, the late James Oyebola and Gary Mason respectively, Frank Bruno, Lennox Lewis and also the incredible charity work that has seen him complete the Marathon Des Sables, scale Kilimanjaro and much more – and he also talks about the motivation behind it. He also discusses his work for the WBC with their wheelchair boxing programme and the programmes he runs through the WBC for underprivileged children in a humours but at times moving interview.
