Has this been replaced by Saturday fight night?

Friday is a much better night for the show. Why would they change it? (if they have)

Bellew v Ajisafe is a Friday night show

Saturday night is much better from a promoter's perspective

I think they will still keep Friday Fight Night for the domestic scene and throw in the odd Saturday show for world title fights. Either way it is more boxing on TV which is all good.

I agree that if they show on both nights it would be best all round, but from what I see on the schedule there is only a couple of Friday nights on.

Most Sky bills are on Saturday nights know, that's what they want and I definitley think that's better.

The Warren Friday night show is a charity evening anyway and there wont be many live Friday night Boxing from the UK in coming weeks.

Saturday is much more of a good 'event' night in my opinion. In terms of getting more viewers I think the move to Saturday will be good for boxing. I did get used to Friday Fight Night though, it was part of my routine for years!

That`s the problem for me. Friday fight night was an accepted part of the weekend for the missus. Saturday is a night when other things tend to be organised (parties, pissups, quiet night with missus). I know I can sky+ it, but it just aint the same.

Hope ESPN continue with their Friday fights series. If you can manage to ignore Teddy Atlas, there are some cracking fights shown.

Yeah I've enjoyed the ESPN Friday Night fights but am I on my own when I say that I actually like Teddy Atlas? He is mad as a hatter and more! The best bits are when he shows off his moves in the ring on how he thinks the fight will pan out. His enthusiasium is second bar none....
