Stick to Football

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet.

Ben Whittaker joins Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Ian Wright to discuss his rise in boxing, being labelled the sport's villain, and why he decided to sign with Eddie Hearn.
Ben opens up about the criticism he's received for his showboating style, responds to Prince Naseem Hamed's comments, explains why he believes he's destined to become a world champion, and names David Benavidez as the opponent he wants to face next at Wembley Stadium.

The panel also discuss Ben's footballing comparisons, from Lamine Yamal and Michael Olise to his favourite player, Cesc Fàbregas, before Gary steps up for a light-hearted sparring lesson with the unbeaten light-heavyweight.

Elsewhere, Ben reveals why Floyd Mayweather is the greatest boxer of all time, explains why he stays away from partying, discusses the financial side of boxing, and shares why he believes Eddie Hearn is the right promoter to take him to the very top.

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet.

Welcome back to Stick to Football. Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Ian Wright are joined by seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady for a huge conversation covering football, the World Cup and life at the very top of elite sport.

Tom shares his thoughts on the growth of football in the United States, the atmosphere around the World Cup and his experiences watching some of the game’s greatest players. The team discuss Lionel Messi’s lasting impact on football, Brazil’s rich footballing history and why Ronaldo Nazário (R9) remains one of the most iconic players ever to grace the game.

The conversation then turns to Tom’s remarkable career, from being the 199th pick in the NFL Draft to becoming one of the greatest athletes of all time. He opens up on leadership, longevity, nutrition, recovery and the mindset required to stay at the top for more than two decades.

Tom also discusses the evolution of American football, how technology has changed sport, the balance between player safety and physicality, and the lessons football and the NFL can learn from each other.

Plus, we put Tom through our MythBusters segment, covering some of the stories and rumours from his career, including his famous sports card collection and memorabilia, before finishing with the ITV7 quiz!

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet.

The opening round of the World Cup group stage is complete, and Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Ian Wright are here to break down all the biggest talking points from the tournament so far.

England got their campaign off to the perfect start, with Jude Bellingham delivering a standout performance and silencing any doubts about his place in the side. Roy, Gary and Ian give their player ratings and assess who impressed most in England’s opening match.

Thomas Tuchel’s tactical approach and in-game management proved decisive, but how will he set England up for their next fixture? Will Marcus Rashford and Djed Spence come into the starting XI, or will Tuchel stick with the same side that got the job done in the opening game?

The spotlight was on Lionel Messi, who once again reminded the world of his brilliance with a stunning hat-trick to launch Argentina’s World Cup campaign in style.

Later in the show, boxer Ben Whittaker joins the panel ahead of his upcoming fight. He opens up about whether boxing press conferences are really as heated as they appear, the hardest punch he’s ever taken, and the reality of chasing the sport’s biggest money fights.

ITV7 returns to test the team's knowledge, before we finish with some of your community questions.

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet.

Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Ian Wright have arrived in New York for the World Cup, and there has already been plenty of action both on and off the pitch!

We begin by looking back on their first few days in the USA, from sightseeing around New York to watching the New York Knicks finally win the NBA Championship. What have been the team’s favourite moments and funniest stories so far?

Gary then sparks a debate as the team create a combined XI featuring England’s current World Cup squad and the side that reached the semi-finals in 1990. Are you picking Harry Kane or Gary Lineker? Jordan Pickford or Peter Shilton?

Attention then turns back to the football as we review the opening matches of the tournament. Has Brazil’s slow start against Morocco changed opinions, and are Germany now among the favourites after an emphatic win over Curaçao?

With England’s opening game against Croatia just around the corner, the team preview a crucial clash for Thomas Tuchel’s side. How important is finishing top of the group, and could defensive inexperience prove costly?

ITV7 returns to test the team's knowledge, before we finish with some of your community questions.
