Are we not gonna see Vitali vs Arreola in the UK

Sky went through their upcoming boxing last night and I was pissed off to say the least, that they weren't showing the upcoming WBC Heavyweight title fight between Vitali Klitschko and Chris Arreola.

Does anyone know if it will be shown anywhere in the UK or is it another we'll miss out on? Ever since Setanta went boxing has been quite minimal over here. Even that Nuts channel that showed the odd fight like Povetkin seems to have disappeared now too. Could do with ESPN taking on some boxing but can't see it now. Maybe just some Friday Fight Nights, but we already get them on FIVE.

Thought the same thing.

Would be a good fight to watch IMO.

Agreed it would be a good fight to watch but Sky have the monopoly.

Im afraid for the next few years at least we are gonna have to make do with internet streaming where 95% of foreign fights are concerned

setanta exploited the cheapness required to show american and german cards to their advantage but sky and ESPN just dont seem interested.

Arreola isnt a big enough name to warrant sky showing the fight unfortunately

The annoying thing is that they showed him against people like Chazz Witherspoon. Now he's fighting the best HW in the world and they won't show it
