Sports fans will get the opportunity to watch delayed coverage of Carl Froch’s first defence of his WBC Super Middleweight Title against Jermain Taylor on free-to-air television after ITV Sport secured the exclusive delayed rights to broadcast one of the biggest fights of the year less than 24 hours after it takes place.
Britain’s only reigning World Champion will put his belt on the line against former undisputed Middleweight Champ, Taylor, at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut this Saturday.
The fight will be shown on a delayed basis on ITV4 at 8.30pm on Sunday, April 26, and repeated on ITV1 at 11.15pm the same evening.
Froch’s title winning thriller against the then unbeaten Jean Pascal was broadcast live on ITV1 last December while ITV4 also broadcasts free-to-air boxing as part of a deal with Froch’s promoter Mick Hennessy.
Recent fights have featured top names from the Hennessey Sports stable including Darren Barker, John O’Donnell, John Murray, Jon Thaxton and heavyweight sensation, Tyson Fury.
