Former boxing two weight world champion Carl Frampton recently listed Wayne McCullough as his no.1 irish fighter of all time. Its easy to see why. In a pro boxing career spanning 15 years McCullough mixed it with the very best at his weight, the likes of Prince Nazeem and Erik Morales just a few examples. Wayne in 1995 became WBC Bantamweight Champion by winning a split decision v Japan's Yasuei Yakushiji, a fight which took place in Japan. It was the pinnacle of a very impressive career which saw Wayne not being floored once by any boxer. I was delighted Wayne agreed to an interview with me. I phoned Las Vegas yesterday to discuss many things about his career.

I hope you enjoy the show!
