I was going to say, after this weekend there is sweet FA boxing in August. In Europe at least. There's a couple of minor shows in Russia and that's it. Has it ever been this bad?

Roll on September for the cards in Germany - Beyer/Povetkin/Urkal 3rd, Krasniqi-Brewster 28th, Sprott-Vidoz and Valuev 1st October.

Uk - Thaxton 3rd Sep and Woods 4th.

August is usually fairly quiet. The new "season" kicks off in September.

It's pretty much because, in Britain at least, boxing has a season - used to be like football but the latter is basically all year round now. Have to laugh at the latest Sky Sports trailer "After a long summer, football is back!"

As much as I love it, it's hardly been away!!

Pretty much the same in most of Europe. Last year there were only 1 show in France (pro and amateur) in August and September combined.

The season starts again in September so this is the time of year that boxers stagger back into the gym with sangria bellys and suntans, jump on the scales and howl. Sometimes you can hear the howling up to 300 yards away followed by the tap tap tap of skipping ropes

just pisses me off!! The only reason I pay Sky like £40 a month is to watch boxing (and cartoons). If they can't come up with the fights, to hell with them. Seems ITV are gonna be showing alot more boxing son anyhow!!

How can you get the US fights in the UK???
