- 300-fight journeyman Peter Buckley fought a who’s who of British boxing.
In his long career, he was matched with prospects, contenders, future champions and even future Hall of Famers. He met the likes of Naseem Hamed, Duke McKenzie, Acelino Freitas, Spencer Oliver, Lee Selby, Derry Mathews and countless others.
Often he’d take a call at short notice to save a show but he was written off at his peril, if he fancied his chances you had a battle on your hands.
Here, Buckley - King of the Journeyman - talks about the subculture of British boxing, life in the blue corner and reaching his incredible milestone.
It's warriors like Buckley who keep the Boxing World turning. Real unsung heroes of the Sport.
A proper legend of British boxing. Thanks for highlighting his career Tris, it's been long overdue.
It is easy to laugh to his record of 238 losses. Then it becomes awe-inspiring to see none of them were knock-outs and he quit at neat 300 fights. True athlete who simply earned his living testing promising fighters and was obviously built for it.
Fcking warrior Peter the altimate fighter us Brummies love him watching this a top top fellow as well 👍
hundreds of losses and with all of his marbles obviously intact, never KO'd - a man who knew his craft and undoubtedly a defensive master.
Peter an absolute gentleman. Tough as nails. Best wishes.
Peter Buckley is one of my favourite five boxers ever. Lewis, Fury, Calzaghe, Eubank. Buckley
Loved this. Great to hear some old heads from Brum like Rocky Lawlor and Nobby Nobbs get a mention too. Brought back some great memories.
What a brilliant interview. I’ve been educated by Peter Buckley by gaining a real insight to his life as a ‘journeyman’ boxer who, along the way, educated (educated being the key word), tens, if not hundreds of fighters along the way. Amazing. I’ll be buying the book. Tris Dixon - great interviewer 🥊
Great interview I'll think I'll go and get his book all the best Peter enjoy your family and your life away from boxing 🥊👍
Great stuff, as usual tris💯
Love all of Tris podcasts but this is probably my favourite
Average of one fight every 3 weeks for 19 years. Pete you are a freak of nature. Proud to have been a stablemate of his. Great memories. Great interview.👍
Fantastic interview!
'Were you no good,were you a bad person?!' Wtf. Glad he's doing well in his well earned retirement. Btw Tris Dixon who interviews him has a good book out The road to nowhere'A journey through boxings wastelands'
