Q./Leotis Martin vs Thad Spencer(May.28.1968)

[Brutu]

It happened in front of a sell out crowd at the Royal Albert Hall,London England.
A fast and furious fight.
Someone over at the cyberboxing zone was interested in knowing if this fight
had been televised on the BBC-TV?

[Flump]

As far as I know this was off TV unfortunately, I've read several accounts of the fight that testify is was one of the best ever seen in Britain.

[Brutu]

Yeah,i would imagine if it was shown on the BBC-Tv there would have been a concern about the gate receipts.

[Flump]

At that time boxing was always shown delayed on UK TV, I expect because as there was no British interest in the main event the BBC decided to avoid it, which is a shame for us all.

[bennie]

Yes, it was not televised and that is a crying shame because it is said to be an absolute classic.

Does any film exist?

I spoke with a BBC archivist and he advised it doesnt exist....at least not with them...
