Great interview here with Richard Schaefer & the guys from Sunday Puncher (which have been upping their podcast game over the last couple years & do a wonderful job here for some regular cats with a podcast). Schaefer opens up about his last couple years, his relationship currently & hopes for the future with ODLH & the boxing business at large.
Also for headline stuff he indicates he is looking to announce a couple more Olympians he's signed soon. But just a great interview that isn't your typical Youtube hack ass interview with the same 7 questions being asked different ways.
