Interesting developments, I'd wager ITV may see this as a cheap way of doing boxing in the absence of BBC's moral compass on covering the Amateur scene.

Grass roots boxing. Can't go wrong there can you.

You'd think someone will pick it up especially with 2012 not too far away.

Personally I think the BBC should.

I welcome any attempt by the ABA to get their poop together and grow the sport. That said...

...please don't put female boxing on TV. It will be another nail in the coffin for our sport. Despite what some people think, the huge majority of the population do not have any desire whatsoever to seem women boxing. It is bad enough having the women's FA cup final on once a year.

Its bad enough having Gerrard and Lampard on our telly 746 times a year.
