Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn launches the second series of his No Passion, No Point podcast on BBC Radio 5 live today with an exclusive interview with Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk.
The series promises to “go behind the scenes with some of the biggest names from the worlds of sport, entertainment and beyond” and van Dijk talks about the importance of maintaining mental health and overcoming setbacks early in his career.
Hearn said: “What unfolded was just one of my favourite podcast across both series of No Passion, No Point. It was absolutely brilliant.
“How can you, at that kind of age, be so composed, so comfortable with yourself and your life? I reckon, during that interview, Virgil Van Dijk’s heart rate didn’t go on beyond about forty beats per minute, maybe even when he is playing.”
A new episode will be released every Wednesday for 10 weeks, with all episodes available on BBC Sounds. Upcoming guests include Gary Lineker, Dina Asher Smith, Maya Jama, Ant Middleton and Frank Lampard.
