BoxRec

Here is a quick break down. As per Dan Rafael.

Here’s what we know so far:

• Top Rank will broadcast at least 18 shows per year on Sky Sports.
• Sky will appoint a replacement UK promoter in Eddie Hearn’s absence.
• Top Rank will stage UK shows and sign more UK fighters.
• Shows will get broadcast at regular UK hours except for Top Rank USA events.
• Top Rank’s biggest stars will participate, except for Tyson Fury.
• Top Rank events will be eligible for Sky Sports Box Office.

Can see TR signing UK based fighters..

I just hope we don't get many clashes in dates.. 18 shows vs. 16 minimum on DAZN.. Plus the 5 a years we get on BT

Gonna be loving the Sky Sports News exposure.

It’s an interesting move having TR ‘do’ shows in the U.K. They’ll need to get a U.K. face of their team - will be interesting to see who that is.

Well they have Josh Taylor, undisputed champion.

Can see Taylor vs. Crawford in the UK on PPV. Sky can do a lot of work to build that up.

Michael Conlan is another.
He needs an English boxer too, maybe London based.

I can see someone ditching Frank or even Hearn.

I was more thinking a face of the promotional team as Bob won’t be flying over every 3/4 weeks for their shows.

Agree though having Top Rank doing shows over here would be an attractive option for Hearn and Frank’s fighters.

Does this mean an American commentary instead of Adam Smith?

Sky TV guide is now showing an entry for 'boxing' at 3.00am Sunday morning, looks like it could be the Shakur fight.

They best show a decent amount of boxing and now just 2 fights..

16 UK plus US as well on DAZN should actually offer us even more boxing as that’s about 30 shows on DAZN plus Top Rank.

All confirmed now by Sky and Top Rank. They’ve also done a deal with Boxxer but it’s not too clear what that means.

Yeah see it mentions (August ) before you get more details about Boxxer side of things - mentions working with various promotors (through Boxxer) only bonus is at least we have the TR shows - Stevenson/Inoue/Loma is coverage we didn’t have so that’s a bonus.
