In this episode of The Terry Stone Connection, we sit down with British boxing champion Denzel Bentley for a raw and honest conversation about life, choices, and the thin line between two very different futures.

Denzel speaks openly about growing up surrounded by influences that could easily have led him down a path into crime, and how boxing became the thing that pulled him away from it. Without the sport, he’s clear that his life could have looked very different.

He reflects on friends he grew up with who didn’t find that same outlet, some now serving prison sentences, others who never made it out at all. The conversation doesn’t shy away from the reality of knife and gun violence, and the lasting impact it has had on the people and communities around him.

We also talk about his journey in boxing, becoming a three-time British champion and winning the WBO world title, as well as what it’s been like being promoted by renowned promoter Frank Warren and operating at the highest level of the sport.

This is a no-nonsense discussion about discipline, survival, and how one decision can change the course of a life.

Let us know what you think in the comments. Did boxing save Denzel from the wrong path, or was it always in him to rise above it?

In this episode of The Terry Stone Connection, we sit down with actor, writer and Newcastle native Steve Wraith for a raw and honest conversation about crime, culture, and the myths surrounding Britain’s most infamous gangsters.

We talk openly about The Krays, questioning whether they’ve been misunderstood, mythologised, or deliberately glamorised, and we explore how organised crime is often remembered very differently from how it was actually lived.

We also dive into Newcastle’s underworld, the realities behind the stories, and the gap between on-screen portrayals and real life. With experience as both a writer and an actor, Steve gives us a unique insight into how crime narratives are created, sold, and consumed.

This is a no-nonsense discussion about reputation, reality, and the lasting impact of Britain’s criminal past.

Let us know what you think in the comments, were The Krays misunderstood, or do they deserve their legacy?

We deep dive into the Great Train Robbery. What went right. What went wrong. How they got caught. And what happened to Nick when his father was finally sent down.

Nick also talks candidly about the Royal Family. He served alongside Prince Andrew in the Falklands and shares stories that raise more than a few eyebrows.

Then there’s the music. Nick is a founding member of Alabama 3, the band behind the iconic Sopranos theme. He tells the real story of how it happened, how it ended up on one of the biggest TV shows ever made, and how much money it actually earned.

Funny. Honest. Unfiltered.

This is The Terry Stone Connection at its best.
