Last week Witherspoon made his debut on Talkin’ Fight when he enlivened the conversation with the co-hosts and stated he will continue to provide his input on the show as often as possible, given his schedule. He is also joining Talkin’ Fight co-founder Graeme Boyce on his Symposium Series on July 11 to discuss the pension requirements and benefits of retired boxers through the possible formation of a union.
Witherspoon was born on December 27, 1957, and professionally competed from 1979 to 2003. As a two-time world heavyweight champion, he held the WBC title in 1984 and the WBA title in 1986.
