I've just switched on to Earl v Katsidis. Wherever this channel has come from, it gets my vote. Its the proper original ITV coverage too, not some shonky dubbed footage.

This was also one of my favourites, I remember telling my missus that I couldn't have dinner with her parents because I needed to get some sleep for my night shift, and went upstairs to watch the Earl vs Katsidis instead. Best decision I've ever made!

Thanks for the tip-off. I caught the last couple of bouts (though I'd seen 'em before). Looks very promising and great for a free-be. Boxing repeats 8pm-10pm every evening according to the schedule.

Does anyone know anything more about this mystery channel?

I Googled it and the search results just brought up questions similar to yours on different forums. It has just appeared out of the blue but I'm not complaining!

Very possibly. David Payne was talking to Francis Warren about it on Twitter last night, he might be able to tell us more.

As an aside, I've only been on Twitter for a couple of weeks but it's a top notch source of information if you 'follow' the right people. The word limit makes it hard to have real discussions, you can't beat this forum for that, but if you are looking for things to discuss, Twitter's the place. All the top boxing names are on there.

Just thinking about this.... were these all SN events? If so, when they folded, I'm sure their assets (including rights to the fights) were sold off. Wonder who purchased them??

Wouldn't surprise me if it was FW Promotions.

I'm told - and I don't how true this is - that the rights for SN shows were going begging and both Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton were interested in buying their own fights, but ultimately they were all purchased by FW Promotions.

Sounds about right, THOUGH not sure how Joe C as a creditor wouldn't have got first shout??

Bill Cayton did a huge deal with espn years back for his enitire back catalouge.
He had most of the Tyson fights and all the old B&W too.

He sold all of his and Jim Jacobs back library which is huge......and begs the question why do ESPN UK feed us the same rumble in the jungle or Ali-Frazier 3 or Tyson early fights all the time....would be nice to see something interesting and unusual like they had in the USA when ESPN Classic first started over there.
