A Tapping Up Christmas: The 5 Biggest Losers of 2025

2025 gave us unforgettable moments but not everyone walked away better for it.

In this special episode, we take a hard look at the five biggest fallers across football, MMA and boxing. Not just bad results, but collapsed seasons, derailed careers and entire systems that failed under pressure. Some of these stories involve clubs that completely lost their identity. Others focus on individuals whose talent never disappeared but whose timing, injuries, or decisions turned promise into frustration.

This isn’t about cheap shots or hindsight bias. It’s about expectation versus reality how hype can unravel, how structures can fail even elite talent, and how quickly momentum can turn in modern sport. From catastrophic league campaigns to divisions that couldn’t deliver when the spotlight was brightest, we break down why these losses mattered and what they tell us about the state of sport in 2025.

Expect strong opinions, uncomfortable truths and one entry that might split the room.
