It was nice while it lasted, but it looks as if Frank Warren, in conjunction with the spineless boxer that is Audley 'Parcel Force' Harrison will put paid to any chance of any major terrestrial network investing in boxing again!!!!!
























Next On ITV


Saturday December 9 (time/channel TBC)
Scott Harrison v Nicky Cook (WBO featherweight title)
Audley Harrison v Danny Williams (Heavyweight)
Amir Khan v Rachid Drilzane (Lightweight)
Kevin Mitchell v TBA (Super-featherweight)
Matthew Marsh v Rocky Dean (Southern area featherweight title)
Ross Minter v TBA
Paul McCloskey v TBA
Eddie Corcoran v TBA









Sorry but i fiercely dissagree..
Warren has go the balls to use ITV over Sky in the last 18 months and must be given his due because when you break it down,we haven't had it this good on terrestrial tv since the Benn/Eubank days and that is fact.
i haven't even got Sky/cable but luckily get to go to the Friday fights (sky sports) in London at close range thru this place and the other UK bouts (Froch,Woods,Witter,hatton etc) i either miss or go round a mates to watch.
And the bouts above are Quality on the whole imo
I hope the boxing stays on ITV1 & ITV4, but I fear that now they have been taken over by Michael Grade & if 'Parcel Force' Harrison stinks out the Excel again & the viewers switch off, he could pull the plug.
