Hall of Fame trainer and cutman Russ Anber sat down with Steve Bunce to discuss a boxing career spanning more than three decades. The interview, broadcast on BBC Radio 5 Live, covered Anber's work in championship corners, his innovations in equipment design, and the pressure that comes with treating cuts between rounds.
Anber has built a reputation as one of the sport's most versatile figures. His roles have included training world champions, wrapping hands before fights, managing fighters, and stopping cuts in the corner. He told Bunce about the fighters who shaped his path and the precision required at the highest level of the sport.
Beyond his work with fighters, Anber founded Rival Boxing Gear, a company that produces what has become the most widely used boxing glove in the sport. His equipment innovations have influenced boxing outside the ring as much as his corner work has inside it.
The Hall of Famer discussed how his career evolved from humble beginnings to working some of boxing's biggest nights. The full interview is available on BBC Sounds and runs 36 minutes.
