A new voice is stepping into the broadcast booth—Najee Grampus of the popular Cigar Talk podcast joins @AlBernstein for a wide-ranging conversation about his unconventional path from music industry executive to ringside boxing commentator. Najee breaks down the chaotic, headline-making Claressa Shields vs. Franchon Cruz-Dezurn fight week—from the tension that exploded at the weigh-in to the sold-out atmosphere in Detroit—and explains why the weekend ultimately ended with a powerful, emotional moment that elevated women’s boxing. They also dig into what could be next for Claressa Shields, including the biggest potential matchups and what it takes for an opponent to “match the moment.” Najee shares how he built Cigar Talk into a platform that landed major guests, then pivoted into boxing interviews that get fighters to open up in a real, conversational way. To close, he names the fights he’s most excited about—including the kind of global showdown that could define a nation’s pride. 🔥 Watch now for behind-the-scenes insight, next-fight predictions, and the rise of boxing’s newest broadcaster. #boxing, #BigTimeBoxing, #AlBernstein, #CigarTalk, #NajiGrampus, #WomensBoxing, #ClaressaShields, #FranchonCruzDezurn, #ShadasiaGreen, #MikaelaMayer, #BrianCuster, #RaulMarquez, #Ringside, #BoxingPodcast, #FightNight, #DetroitBoxing, #LittleCaesarsArena, #Inoue, #Nakatani, #Benavidez, #Bivol, #ZurdoRamirez, #P4P, #CombatSports, #BoxingNews
