AK & BARAK LINKS UP WITH ICONIC RING ANNOUNCER MICHAEL BUFFER
New York, Jan. 30, 2019 – On the latest episode of Sweet Scientists: Ak & Barak, the most famous voice in boxing Michael Buffer gets ready to rumble with Ak & Barak at Madison Square Garden to talk about the most transcendent moments of his career, the great Muhammad Ali, and his dream matchups for 2019. The full episode of Sweet Scientists: Ak & Barak and more Ak & Barak bonus content is available now, exclusively on DAZN.
Ak & Barak asked Buffer who he would like to see fight in 2019, “Naturally we all want to see (Anthony) Joshua fight Tyson Fury or (Deontay) Wilder,” said Michael Buffer. “I’d like to see Canelo fight Demetrius (Andrade) or ‘Miracle Man’ Danny Jacobs. With those two scenarios of heavyweight and middleweights, undisputed champions, that’s what we all want. We want someone with an undisputed championship.”
“I’m 74 and I actually thought about retirement at the end of 2019, and I started working for Eddie Hearn and Matchroom,” Buffer says when talking about retirement. “I love working for these guys, and (they told me in 2018) we got something special coming up that we have to talk to you about soon, and DAZN, Matchroom joint project, and made it exclusive, so as soon as I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.”
