This weekend it's the latest chapter in the family feud as Conor Benn takes on Chris Eubank Jr, for a rematch after the sensational first fight in April.
But unlike their dads, Conor and Chris Jr don't naturally fight at the same weight and there's a controversial clause that could leave Eubank Jr dangerously dehydrated.
So is it safe to stage this fight again? Is it British boxing rivalry getting back to it's best? Or is boxing trying to fill a void if the next best thing is Anthony Joshua v Jake Paul? Gabby and Mark catch up with broadcaster Ade Oladipo and Robert Smith, General Secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control.
Plus, why are both Thomas Tuchel and Steve Borthwick steering away from the stars? And does Gabby think the L.A. Olympics 100m final should be hosted on the opening day?

In the last episode of Season 2, as we gear up for the Ashes, Mark Pougatch and Paul Hayward bring you the story of Australian media magnate Kerry Packer, who all the current players should be thanking.
Packer turned the gentile game of Test cricket upside down as he signed the captains of England, Australia and the West Indies to what some called his 'rebel circus'.
For two years at the end of the 1970s, the traditional world of white flannels, red balls and polite applause collided with coloured clothing, floodlights, music and marketing - cricket was never quite the same again.
So how did Packer lure the best cricketers in the world? And how much of what we see today can directly be traced back to the drive, ambition and vanity of one Sydney businessman?
We hope you've enjoyed Season 2 of How It All Played Out. While we take a short break you can check out all our past episodes on Global Player or wherever you get your podcasts.

We've all been guilty of using ChatGPT once in a while, Head Coach Laura Harvey even admitted she used it for tactics in the American women's league.
The Premier League, NFL, England Rugby... you name it, they're using AI. Scouting players by predicting how they'll fit in at a new team, optimising tactics on the field and making individual injury prevention plans.
So Gabby and Mark are joined by AI specialists, Stephen Smith (CEO of Kitman Labs) and Ryan Beal (CEO of Sentient Sports). How far can AI take us? Will it take all our jobs? And can we really trust it?
Plus, Gabby waxes lyrical about Jeremy Doku's mesmerising performance and Pep Guardiola's reinvention as Man City blew away Liverpool to put the pressure on Arsenal, and Mark shares his disappointment at the Ashes whitewash for the England Men's Rugby League team.

We've been Traitors mad so Clare Balding joined Gabby and Mark for a slightly different episode of The Sports Agents. Don't worry there's no spoilers from the final!
Is she bitter no one listened to her about Alan? Why did everyone underestimate Joe Marler? What did Claire tell the producers they should change about the game? And how did Claire know Celia was going to fart?
Plus we look back at two huge interviews on the podcast this week with former England manager Gareth Southgate and Euros winner Mary Earps.

Mark Pougatch and Paul Hayward bring you the story of Althea Gibson - don't worry if you've never heard of her, few have!
Arthur Ashe is a name immediately recognisable to every tennis fan - and most sports fans.
He was the first Black man to win the US Open, the Australian Open and Wimbledon - and the largest tennis stadium in the world, the US Open main court, is named after him.
But he wasn’t the first Black player to win a Grand Slam. That honour went to New Yorker Althea Gibson, who won the French open in 1956 - a whole decade before Ashe. She also won both the US Open and Wimbledon in 1957 and in 1958.
So why isn’t Althea Gibson as well known as Arthur Ashe? Why doesn’t she have her name up in lights like his? What is her story?

Sir Gareth Southgate joins Gabby & Mark on The Sports Agents! The man who led England's men to two Euros finals, missing out on that first trophy since 1966 by a whisker, tells us why he decided to step down, what he makes of Thomas Tuchel not selecting Southgate's star Jude Bellingham, and if the Man United job was ever on the cards?
Gareth also opens up about a lack of positive role models for young people in UK and on social media and dressing room rules on phones while at England.
“Dear England: Lessons in Leadership” by Gareth Southgate is out on November 6th.

Did you know the government doesn't fund deaf athletes, because they aren’t allowed to compete at the Paralympics?
For 100 years now they’ve been holding their own competition - the Deaflympics - where referee whistles are replaced by flag signals, and starting guns by flashing lights. But no Paralympics means no funding. All because they were born with the so-called “wrong” disability. Great Britain medal hopefuls Charlotte Gower and Nathan Young join Gabby.
Plus we look back at the best bits from this week on The Sports Agents from the NBA gambling scandal featuring the mafia and x-ray glasses with Andy Hughes (Co-Host of The Crime Agents podcast) and The Athletic's Mike Vorkunov; to a love letter to the Ashes with some hilarious stories from Phil Tufnell.

Former England cricketer Phil Tufnell, who played in five Ashes series, joins Gabby and Mark to share his love letter to the Ashes, just weeks out from the competition. He has us in stitches with his stories from Down Under, from outrageous sledging to his hilarious first meeting with his England team mates. And how does he think England will get on this winter?
And on that theme Gabby and Mark chat about "torture" for England in the current Rugby League Ashes, England taking on Australia in the Rugby Union Autumn Internationals this weekend, and the England v Australia Women's Cricket World Cup Final that almost was before England's demolition at the hands of South Africa.

It's one of the most iconic photos in Olympic history: Mary Decker falling flat on her face as Zola Budd runs past her bare foot. Decker, America’s golden girl and the World Champion on home turf, against Budd, from apartheid-ridden South Africa, who acquired a British passport in double quick time to line up, against her own will.
Mark Pougatch and Paul Hayward bring you the story behind the photo from the LA Games in 1984. How did two such different characters end up being the main protagonists in one of the Olympic’s most infamous moments? How did politics, the Daily Mail and fearsome fathers play their part? And what were the long term effects on both runners?

As the NBA was rocked by an illegal sports gambling scandal, Gabby and Mark catch up with Andy Hughes (Host of The Crime Agents and Crime Correspondent for LBC) and Mike Vorkunov (The Athletic's Basketball Business Reporter). How did the mafia infiltrate U.S. sports? Will America regret embracing sports gambling in 2018? And is the integrity of the game shot?
Plus, Gabby and Mark react to Brendan Rodgers resigning as Celtic manager, the spicy statement from Celtic major shareholder Dermot Desmond and Hearts' unexpected success.

Formula One might be about to witness a comeback worthy of a Drive to Survive Hollywood film. With five races to go, the McLaren driver win that seemed as certain as death and taxes, has suddenly been put in jeopardy by Max Verstappen and Red Bull. Could they pull off the impossible?
Gabby and Mark are joined by 13-time Grand Prix winner David Coulthard, who has history with both teams as a world championship runner-up with McLaren, who became the highest scoring British driver of all time while at Red Bull.
Plus, we look back at this week on The Sports Agents. Andy Cole, the Premier League's fifth top goalscorer of all time, revealed what it was like being one of four top strikers at Man United, and his reaction to the managerial merry-go-round at Nottingham Forest.
And as basketball finds itself in big trouble with the GB men's team banned from international competition, we spoke to the first Brit to play in the NBA, Professor John Amaechi, as well as the leaders of the two warring sides, Sanjay Bhandari, Chair of Super League Basketball, and Chris Grant, who recently stepped down as Chair of the British Basketball Federation.

Gabby and Mark are joined by 13-time Grand Prix winner David Coulthard, who has history with both teams as a world championship runner-up with McLaren, who became the highest scoring British driver of all time while at Red Bull.
Plus, we look back at this week on The Sports Agents. Andy Cole, the Premier League's fifth top goalscorer of all time, revealed what it was like being one of four top strikers at Man United, and his reaction to the managerial merry-go-round at Nottingham Forest.
And as basketball finds itself in big trouble with the GB men's team banned from international competition, we spoke to the first Brit to play in the NBA, Professor John Amaechi, as well as the leaders of the two warring sides, Sanjay Bhandari, Chair of Super League Basketball, and Chris Grant, who recently stepped down as Chair of the British Basketball Federation.

Gabby and Mark are joined by the Premier League's fifth top goal scorer of all-time and winner of eight major trophies with Manchester United, Andy Cole.
Was Andy surprised to see Ruben Amorim become the first Man United manager to win at Anfield since 2016? With the focus on set pieces despite a transfer window dominated by big striker moves, are strikers taking too long to settle in? And as a man who was born in Nottingham and ended is career at Forest, what does he make of the managerial merry-go-round as Sean Dyche becomes their third manager of the season!
Plus, Gabby and Mark chat about Tommy Fleetwood's son running on the green to congratulate him for winning the DP World India Championship; the retirement of two-time Rugby World Cup winner Emily Scarratt; and rugby's next big thing, Noah Caluori, after he scored five tries on his first Saracens start (against Sale - sorry Mark!);
And should Wythenshawe FC Vets, the Sunday league team with 822 Premier League appearances between them, give Mark a shot?
