Jeff Harding? The ex-aussie boxer? Surely you mean, "Jess" don't you?

Maybe it's a ploy to procure a 4th fight with Denis Andries?

Just want to make this clear to people

ITV IS IN TALKS WITH allegedly TO TAKE HATTON and CALZAGHE to ITV to fill in Saturday night football slot!

This is not rumour or speculation but truth!

Whether Warren agree's on a deal is something we'll have to find out!

If you don't believe, Just phone his offices and ASK HIM(or more likely his secretary) but DO IT IN A CRAFTY WAY because he won't tell you outright!

Well when Joe and Ricky say they want to be busy i dont think they mean by fighting every 2 weeks. They would have to make a big investment into boxing to put cards on every week to replace the football slot. Be better for them just to put a film on.

To get an answer why dont you phone Brian Barwick, Head of ITV Sport on 020 7843 8000 or write to him at 200 Grays Inn Road, London WC1X ORA?

Obviously they wouldn't be fighting every 2 weeks

Warren has goty some other boxer's like Skelton and SCOTT Harrison and Kevin Mitchell

I don't think ITV would put a Fight show on every week but more like every 2 week. Therefore, one week a film, the next a Boxing show!

This would mean around 15 to 20 shows a year!

If Calzaghe, Hatton and Harrison fight around 3 times a year, you've already got 9 weeks filled!

If anyone does phone ITV, remember to be CRAFTY! Obviously Warren is still contracted to provide shows for SKY so these talks with ITV are supposed to be secret!

Why would Warren have to be secretive?

He is merely shopping around in anticipation of his SKY contract expiry.

I would want SKY to know that I am shopping around, it might make them sharpen their pencil.

Its quite simple

If Warren was mouthing off about how bad Sky is treating him and how he's gonna go to ITV and than ITV decided against offering him a contract, he'd have to go back to Sky with his Tail between his legs and his position in terms of Contract renewal being severly weakened!

It's better for ITV to give him a definate yes before jumping ship!

Remember, Don't put all your eggs in one basket!
