[quote=bzkfn;744440]Boxing News magazine has confirmed it will end its 26 show over 2 year deal with Hennessy early. With Setanta possibly going too, this is horrible for UK fans.

This is what an ITV spokesman said...

"Given the economic climate, ITV must ensure that its programming is commercially viable. At the moment, boxing on free-to-air commercial television is not economically sustainable and as a result ITV has no plans to broadcast boxing in 2010. We keep all programming under review and if in the future the commercial facts change then we'll be happy to consider broadcasting boxing again."

Another ITV source added...
