ITV1 SIGN CARL FROCH WBC FINAL ELIMINATOR FIGHT

Cool for those of you in the UK!

The press release states that it will be simulcast on itv.com - does anyone know if this is limited to people in the UK, or if the rest of us can watch this way as well?

Makes a change, most big fights are on setanta.

[gally]

Ye this is great news any boxing on mainstream T.v is good for the sport, this should be a good fight also.

[Kel]

Wow, ITV has realised we have other fighters besides Khan. Bravo

[WelshDevilRob]

Good to see this fight get the true exposure it deserves. Fair play to ITV for airing boxing matches other than the ones that Amir Khan is involved in. Let's hope more fights are on there way.

Great news allround.

[Fenster]

I thought ITV said they were giving boxing the elbow the other week?

This is good stuff. Working with other bods besides FW is the way forward, surely.

Although it means SKY stuff is thinning big time.

[Kirkland Laing]

I would guess ITV are getting the fight for a great price and will see how the ratings are for Froch. If it turns out he's the next big thing in British boxing they get a head start over the other channels on the rest of his career.

Wasn't Calzaghe the WBC Champ after he beat Kessler If so, since he's moving up how is this fight an eliminator? Who is the winner going to fight for the strap? I think it may as well just be for the vacant title. Good matchup for sure. Haven't seen Inkin fight at all, but I don't think Froch will become world class, he just has such horrible defence. Maybe Inkin isn't going to be the guy to exploit that, but if he's as good as some say, he should at least hit Froch a hell of a lot.

Good job by ITV! This will be on UTV for me, nice one

[Tins06]

Glad it's on ITV.Expectations...Not a clue.I hate Carl Froch though so i hope he loses.

[Master]

I hope it gets BBC to review their coverage of boxing. We need more competition and coverage of boxing in the UK.

Guys, just for future reference, we need to get as many people as possible watching this fight, so ITV sees that the boxing world stretches beyond Khan and Warren's little empire.

And personally, I can't wait for this one. Froch had a disappointing year last year, and he is stepping it up against Inkin and hopefully he shows he's the real deal...

Exactly right rhun Froch deserves some exposure

[Clanger]

Nice undercard too.

Hennessy has Murray v Fewkes.

And Mathew Hatton v Adnan Amar.
