"VIP Boxing TV will offer a lot more than just fights, we'll have interviews, training clips, the latest boxing news, archived fights and features on all VIP boxers. People will be able to see how they train, what they get up to outside the ring and of course, our cameras will be there when they step through the ropes," he added.

"We've already spent a lot of time and money on the project but it's been worth it, I'm as excited about VIP Boxing TV as I was when I first got into boxing 15 years ago, I know all true boxing fans will like what they see and we're going to start with a real coup by showing the Manchester leg of the Steve Bunce Roadshow - the only place anywhere you'll be able to see it apart from at one of the venues, and what's more we're going to launch on October 12 with an incredible joining offer which I know will really be appreciated by all boxing fans."
