“The Fight” podcast doubles down on hosts named ‘Atlas’'

They affectionately refer to each other as “Bud” and the love, admiration, and respect they both have for one another is so apparent when these two are speaking to one another. 

Before the most recent episode of “The Fight”, the popular podcast hosted by boxing legend Teddy Atlas, he found himself about to fly solo with regular co-host Ken Rideout unavailable this past week.

So, in a unique and exciting move for listeners, Atlas brought in a special co-host, his son Teddy.  Atlas’ son is the 3rd in the line of Atlas men in the family. The youngest Teddy’s father was also named after his father a renowned doctor throughout his lengthily career serving in Staten Island, New York.

It is probably safe to say that Teddy Atlas inherited much of his unrelenting work ethic and unshakeable commitment to his fighters from his father who was unwaveringly determined and committed to serving the medical needs of any and all patients in the New York area.

While his son isn’t employed in the fight game himself, he has certainly been around boxing his whole life growing up in it through his famous, Hall of Fame father. And, judging by the successful career he has had working in the NFL, it’s safe to say the hard-working Atlas genes are alive and well in Teddy’s son.

The “Atlas” name is a very recognizable one in boxing. It is also one that is well-known to NFL fans. After starting his career with the New York Jets and then the Cleveland Browns, Atlas’ son moved into a vital scouting role with the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League.

While Atlas’s son might know the gridiron better than the squared circle, he certainly can relate to the landscape of working with the very best in the elite level of a sport, something both father and son have done throughout their career.

The questions, assessments and opinions brought to the table by the younger Atlas on the show certainly showed a young man with a keen eye for boxing.

So, in a fun and exciting episode for listeners, “The Fight” doubled down on hosts named Atlas. If Teddy’s son ever decides to change career paths he could certainly go into broadcasting. His cool, at times humorous and expertly accurate assessment of the fights over the past week made him sound like a boxing industry veteran.

So, the younger Atlas threw a variety of potential fights and recent results at his famous father and the back-and-forth commentary and evaluation between the two was both entertaining and informative for fight fans.  

As an added bonus, with an NFL expert in-house, Teddy tapped his son for his predictions for some of the upcoming season in the NFL with picks, predictions and possibilities. Fun stuff for football (and fight) fans. 

Atlas will welcome back his regular co-host Ken Rideout when he returns from his latest marathon. But, if Ken is ever away again, an outstanding fill-in co-host is a phone call away.

Great episode. Great stuff. Check it out.
