Tyson vs Williams - Radio?

Hello everyone, just a quick question. I'm on holiday when the Tyson/Williams fight is on and can't access a TV with Sky, so my only saving grace is my portable radio. Will there be any commentary of the bout on British radio? Would Radio five live be doing it? Cheers guys

MMM... Good question, would assume some station would (Talksport or Radio 5), but I don't think anything has been formally announced.

Can you access the internet on your hols? I'm sure some sites will sell the fight.

No mate I can't go on the internet either. I think I'll just have to tune in on the night and keep flicking through the stations to see whats going on. Thanks

I doubt it'll be on FiveLive because usually Sky's fights aren't on there as far as I recall. Could be wrong though.

Are they not Nick? I thought the BBC struck a radio deal with FW - perhaps though this is only for the major title fights and they have been few and far between in recent years.

five signed a deal with SN to broadcast fights involving Hatton, Calzaghe and Scott Harrison etc about a year or so ago. Dunno about this one though

Would have thought that this will be covered, cannot see why not.
