It was only 25 years ago. Are we even on the same planet?






Its amazing really, Bruno was a huge huge star and anyone with a tv knew who he was fight fan or not.

Those were the days..

I used to LOVE midweek sports special and still remember the music

Boxing used to feature heavily on that and Grandstand.

I saw Haye v Thompson on grandstand and think it was one of the last fights they showed?

Maybe satellite tv killed off boxings popularity and not the dodgy matchups

Mad thing is the fight game in the UK is easily as good as I've ever known it right now .... probably better in depth of talent.

I wonder if BBC/ITV will ever screen live fights again.

Im actually surprised ITV didnt jump on Joshua and try and do a deal but I guess sky and matchrooms marriage fucked any chance of that happening.

Wonder if their were ever talks etc?
