What i meant was i had to record them on the old VHS tapes as there were often some on the same night but different channels.

There used to be a lot of good stuff on Mid Week Sport Special on ITV, and Sportsnight to a slightly lesser extent. Some of the bigger fights were on at the weekend, and the big fights from America were shown on delayed replay the next day. Up until the early 90s big time boxers were household names and the bigger fights used to get huge audiences. Some great names and fights, brilliant time to be a boxing fan.

We had Friday night fights; UHF Spanish channel for Boxe Professionale; ESPN (later); Wide World of Sports on Saturday; Sports Spectacular on Sat and Sun, and many fights were broadcast. This was before cable television of course.
