“If you are caught DOPING, you should be BANNED for LIFE!” 🥊 Barry McGuigan | Up Front

This is Up Front with Simon Jordan. A new show brought to you by William Hill that pulls no punches and tells it EXACTLY like it is.

This week we are joined by the ‘Clones Cyclone,’ Barry McGuigan. An Olympian and a former world champion who helped to heal a desperately divided country, Barry joins the show to discuss his illustrious career both in and out of the ring.

In 1985, 19 million people sat down to watch Barry win his first world title against Eusebio Pedroza, creating a level of fanfare and intrigue that boxing will never see again. In this eye-opening episode Barry opens up on his life full of extraordinary success and incredible tragedy.
