Steve Bunce tells 5 live Boxing about the surprising wage of a sparring partner. Sparring partners are crucial to a Boxer's preparation for a big fight. However, the price of being repeatedly hit daily by a potential world champion might seem cheap to some. When asked: "What would the heavyweight champion of the world pay?" by Mark Champion, Steve Bunce replied: "wladimir klitschko looks after people, they'd come back after a couple of weeks with a few thousand euros". "Wouldn't you want more [than 300 dollars a day] to get whacked by klitschko ?!" Mark asked. This clip is taken from 5 live Boxing, 13 May 2015.
