Ben Whittaker has endured a rough ride in recent months, having flipped out of the ring in Saudi Arabia last year... a humbling end to a night that shook his swagger. But in Birmingham, he was back with fire in his belly, out for revenge against his old dance partner, Liam Cameron. The trademark flash was still there, though noticeably dialled down... a touch more grit, a little less glitz. And it worked. Whittaker got the job done in just two rounds. Andy and Matt dive straight into the thick of it in this week’s episode of Macklin’s Take. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week on Macklin's Take we bring you a very special episode. We talk often on the podcast about amateur boxing, about how vital amateur clubs are, not just to the sport, but also to the communities they belong to, and how the people who run them are the sport's true, unsung heroes. Well a couple of weeks ago Matt invited me along to the birthday party of his old amateur coach, a man who helped save and shape so many young people's lives and who also brought through more than his fair share of champions. Pat Benson, in his late 80s now, ran Small Heath Boxing club, a powerhouse of an ABC, for decades and the turnout at the Irish Centre spoke volumes about the esteem in which he is held by everyone who walked through the doors of the club. We sat down with the likes of Wayne Elcock, Paul Ramsey, Anthony Maynard, Rowan Williams, Dennis Brown and Shaun Cogan amongst others to re-live some glory days and reflect on the impact boxing and Small Heath has had on their lives.
