Edit request from 132.185.144.120, 17 March 2011

Please change "The Steve Bunce Boxing Show" to "The Steve Bunce Boxing Show on BBC London 94.9" in the current radio appearances section.

The BBC London 94.9 should also link to their wikipedia page.

Thanks!!

Is he handy?

No mention on this page of Bunce as a fighter himself. (And I don't count the bit where he took down some gobbing school kid, by the way.) Did he fight as an amateur? Has he ever been battered around the ring? He talks like a hard nut but I reckon he's heading for the exits PDQ whenever it ever kicks off. --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 10:21, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This BBC News story and video suggests otherwise! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/boxing/65155516 86.30.141.161 (talk) 20:11, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He has repeatedly said he fought as a youth amateur. Often stating that he knew Mike Costello from those days before working with him whilst Costello was at the BBC. 94.194.38.208 (talk) 13:42, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life

Bunce stated that he lost his wife after illness in 2022. This was stated in his conversation with Chris Eubank in this linked episode of his BBC Boxing podcast: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0gsqkl9 94.194.38.208 (talk) 13:44, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
