It will probably be on one of the box office channels, I've watched a fight which was on setatnta sport on cable before.

oh dear, that sounds a bit unfortunate mate, good luck. I'll try and figure out how to tape the fight through the Sky box.

If 3 supporting contests are going to be shown how on earth can Witter v N'Dou not be one of them? Obviously Taylor v Edouard is the chief, and a good fight too. But Demitrius Hopkins? And Kingsley Ikeke vs some journeyman?

It really would be a farce I hope someone pulls their effing finger out.

I think though that people are forgetting that this is a Golden Boy show, Bernard is now a partner in GB - he will be ubdoubtedly pushing the buttons to get Demeitrius Hopkins on the box.

I have big doubts that any other Briton will be on the show, all this talk of Sheika vs Froch on the undercard has seemed to have gone quiet.

Personally I'm not forgetting anything Stu, it wasn't a serious question. I'm just fed up that a fight of undoubted quality like Witter v N'Dou could be ignored, when these other guys on the bill are just padding their records.

I didn't mean you specifically, just I was a little fed up of all this "good chance to showcase British talent in the UK" and all these rumours of a load of Henessey sports fighters being on the bill.

If they would have won the purse bids then fair enough, but why would GB want to showcase talent that will probably never on one of their cards again - it wouldn't make any sense from a buisness point of view.

Having said that, N'dou vs Witter is now on the schedule page over here, perhaps Oscar is allowing 1 other Henessey fighter to appear on the bill as part of some agreement.
