(Overnight | Music) Whisper Wednesday | #1576 Let me bore you to sleep | Jason Newland | 18th March 2026

This is jasonnewland.com, my name is Jason Newland, New-land, yeah. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. So, I am, I am, I am, what am I, it's quite early in the morning and I thought as it's Wednesday and as it's early and there's nobody awake in the whole wide world, I'd do a whisper Wednesday, whisper, whisper, whisper Wednesday, day, day, day, day, so yeah, that's what I'm doing, it's a whisper Wednesday, whisper Wednesday, shouty whisper, so basically, I was just, just looking at what do I normally do when I wake up, so I've got a little routine, I, when I wake up, what the time is,

so when I wake up, I never know what the time is, so I have to get into the seating position on the side of my bed and my bedside cabinet, which is also a set of drawers, like a small set, small set, or low, a low down set, has got my phone on, so I look at my phone to see what time it is and from that I can decide whether or not it's time to get out of bed, because I like getting out of bed, which is the reverse to how I used to be,

I am, yeah, kind of, I suppose, when I go to bed, I look forward to waking up and getting out, if I wake up at 1am any morning, I'm disappointed because it means that I have to go back to sleep because I'm not getting out of bed at 1 in the morning, no, no, no, no, no, unless there's boxing on, then maybe it's a yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, which has reminded me, I'm sure there's some boxing on, boxing, b-b-b-b-boxing, b-b-b-boxing, schedule, I think, actually, what might have happened is,

I think I might have missed a couple of boxing bits, which is annoying, but hey, so it's Wednesday the 18th of March 2026, so tomorrow, Thursday the 19th, Felix Barilla against Joss Jost Velasquez, and you've got, and then Friday, Michael Conlon against Kevin Walsh, that's in Belfast, then you've got, Saturday, George Liddard against Tyler Denny, that's London, so that's on its own, so, good we've got boxing this weekend, Friday and Saturday night, yeah, that's good, two nights of boxing, baby, then Saturday, this is in America, so there's a boxing thing in America,

I don't know any of those people, also, oh wow, okay, Saturday 21st, so Carlos Ademes against Austin Williams, Jeremone Ntuna, so I just want to have a look at this, because I want to watch that, just a couple of weeks, so this is early hours of the morning, on Saturday morning here, 21st, I want to click on this, because I want to find out, Ademes Williams, Jeremone, who's Jeremone, oh man, come on, don't miss me about, oh I had a tantrum yesterday, okay, Jeremone Jr., I'm confused, I'm confused, right, Jeremone Jr.,

right, so Jeremone is a heavyweight boxer, I think, New Zealand, I think, or Australia, but he's called Jeremone, Jeremone, but now they call him Jeremone Jr., I imagine that they might have changed his name, because it's confusing to have two names exactly the same, so by having Jeremone Jr., perhaps it makes it a little bit easier, it definitely does actually for me, Jeremone, Jeremone, it just seems like a lot, a lot of words, but anyway he's a heavyweight, and he's fighting on that American show, that's interesting, so I watched that on Sunday,

yeah, so let's have a look what else is on next week, oh wow, okay, next week is another big night of boxing, next weekend, so not, well this weekend is a good weekend of boxing, yeah, but next weekend the 28th is when the clocks go forward or backwards, it is a weekend of boxing, I've been looking forward to it, I'm even more looking forward to it now, because there's a boxing on in America as well, although I won't be watching that live, it's Sebastian Fundura vs Keith Furman, so Sebastian's gonna win that,

and it's for the world title, I just, I'm surprised that Keith Furman's still going, he's got to be in his thirties now surely, he's been around for a long time, Keith Furman, well he's older than me, he's only 37, which to be fair is quite old for like a light to weight boxer, but at the same time he's only had one loss out of 33 fights, so he's a great talent, but he hasn't fought much recently, which makes me wonder how does he get to fight for the world title,

so he, Furman, he turned pro in 33, 2007, nearly 19 years ago, and then, just trying to see when he won the world title, according to this, he won the WBA interim world to weight title in 2013, and he retained it, and he retained it again, and he retained it again, and then the, he was made actual champion, because the, I don't know, whoever was holding it, gave it up, and then, ok right, so he retained it, this was 2015, and then he retained it again,

so then he retained the WBA world to weight title, I'm confused, they came about, I think basically, it became 4Chan, I don't know, I've got no idea, anyway so, in all effect and purposes, he was, he was a champion from 2013, retained it, retained it, retained it, up to 2019, so for 6 years, and in that time, he did fight some big names, like Sean Porter, Danny Garcia, Luis Colasso, Robert Guerrero, and then his only loss was to Manny Pacquiao in 2019, and then he's fought twice, beaten those,

but he had his, he lost the titles, July 20th, 2019, and then his next fight was February 5th, 2022, and his next fight was March 12th, 2025, and now he's going to, by the looks of it, fight for world title, so he's been out of the ring every year, but he's literally fought, in 6 years, he's fought twice, so yeah, it's, but then I suppose, if you look at it, Pacquiao hadn't had a fight for 6 years, I think, until he, or 5 and a half years, until he came back and challenged for the world title, so, rules do get broken, so the one I'm looking forward to, is the 28th of March, Saturday, in New York, the UK, Moses Atalma vs.

Jermaine Franklin, I've been looking forward to this, it should have been in January, but it's postponed due to an injury of some kind, and I've been looking forward to this since it was announced, which would probably be about November time, maybe October, November, probably October, maybe September, so I've been waiting, and it'll be on, just over a week, yeah, why does it keep doing this, oh, oh, so there are some big fights coming up as well, so let's have a look, so that's, that's Friday, so the next week,

that's what I was thinking of, Japan has got a fight on on Friday, the April 3rd, and their fights will be about 10 in the morning, yay, so I can watch that, I'm just going to look, you're joking me, is that all they're going to give me, vote more events, right, another one to look forward to, Friday, 3rd of April, Pat Brown vs Vasil Duka, now Pat Brown is a, I think he's a cruiserweight, he's so good, he's just knocking people out, he's faster, stronger, it's just, he's almost guaranteed to be a world champion,

so, that's Friday, the 3rd, I don't know why it's on a Friday, I don't know why, but I'm going to watch it, it's in United Kingdom, good, so I'll watch that, that'll be good, and then, on a Saturday, in Cardiff, so that'll also, ah, that's where I got it wrong, I thought it was last weekend, but it's this weekend, Lauren Price is fighting Stephanie Arquino, and that's BBC 2 on normal telly, why are they doing that, they got that at the same time as the Deontay Wilder fight,

but it doesn't really matter, because I'll just watch the, I'll watch the Lauren Price on BBC 2, on the playback, like on a Sunday morning or something, yeah, definitely be watching a Deontay Wilder vs Derek Chisora, so that's the 3rd, so the 28th, the 28th March the 21st, so that's this weekend, oh, stop, it keeps checking on to adverts, I can't, trying to scroll the screen, touching the screen, and it keeps checking adverts at me, it's not a pleasant experience, ah, 21st, right, so the 28th, Moses Atalma, 28th,

so it's just over a week, and the following, the following Saturday is Wilder, well it's Deontay Wilder vs Derek Chisora, but the Friday is Pat Brown, and another Lauren Price, and also Saturday in America, no, in Australia, wow, so, 9pm, so Saturday, so what's that, 7 in the evening, 2, 3, so 7 in the evening, no, 2pm, it's about 9, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, so 9 o'clock, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, what's it on, Amazon Music, or Amazon Prime, so it's in Australia,

which means it will probably be on, I think it will be on during the day, so that is a big weekend of boxing, Friday evening, Saturday during the day, Saturday evening, plus Deontay Wilder, plus Lauren Price is on, on BBC Tech, so what, what, what, what, and then on Sunday, April 5th, Caroline Dubois vs Terry Harper, that's ESPN Sky Sports, I didn't think Sky Sports were doing anything anymore, so that, yeah, I'm not going to pay £10, £11 to watch that, nope, sorry Caroline, I mean I suppose in some ways,

because a lot of people have Sky Sports, and if everybody, if everybody who has the Sky Sports package watches Daniel Dubois, Caroline Dubois sorry, fight, then it's going to get, you know, could get a million people watching, or half a million people, I just, if I was a boxer, yeah, starting to fall asleep, yeah, falling asleep, okay, let's go back to the boxing, future fights, so the 3rd of, 4th of April, and then the 11th, so that's like 2 big weekends in a row, 28th and then the 4th of April,

and then on the 11th of April, Tyson Fury vs Aslanbek, something, Mamadouk vs Makhmadov, wow, and he's got a really good undercard, so Conor Benn vs Richie Sprague, Jamie Jaquiti vs Richard Ryabour, Ryabour and Frasier Clarke vs Justin Hurley.
