I've just done a look at what is on Channel 5 this week to see if they would be showing the Tyson Fury fight or not. (Honestly, I was not checking out the latest on Big Brother). I was pleased to see that they are; start time of 20:45. I do not have high hopes for this fight, but applaud that Channel 5 are continuing to show boxing. Mind you, given the more than reasonable figures from last time, it isn't surprising. What I would like to see is them looking at the other weights and showing some class British fights or fighters, but I suppose they will stick with Fury for now to see if the viewing figures were a flash in the pan or if they are sustainable.

Posted more for information than anything on a slow day at work.

I expect they'll take it gradually, build up awareness before anything too niche.

America's next great hope - Nicolai Firtha.

His nickname is 'Stone Man'.

I think they missed the '20' off the beginning of that.

Union, you wanna set up a competition for how many times they mention the Mayweather fight on Channel 5?

Feel a bit sorry for Fury here. Looks like he was expecting to get in the ring with Marty Rogan - only for big Marty to ditch him in favour of fighting for some trinket.

It will be interesting to see how many viewers he pulls in this time. Stephen Smith is boxing Lee Selby at the same time on Sky and his last two fights have been very entertaining.
