...that absolutely NO news broadcasts even bothered to mention that there is a new world heavyweight champion. They chose to favour f**kin jenson button losing some F1 race than mention significant world sport news.
f***in retards.

BBC news mentioned briefly that Russian Vitali Klitschko was fighting American Corrie Sanders on Saturday night Doubt the establishment will be so slipshod with there sport in a fortnight when the upper crusts roll out for strawberries and cream at Wimbledon.

With the BBC "No news is good news"

Bit more than a fortnight for Wimbledon. I know what your saying though!

Could do with a nice Sunday evening BBC2 boxing highlight type thing of that match.

like it or not, despite their "interest" the bbc still view boxing as a minority sport, with no real british interest at anything other than domestic level, which appeals to working class no marks. the fact thier "big fights" are broadcast delayed at midnight on saturday nights tend to prove this

On Friday or Saturday Ceefax page 381 seemed to think the fight was taking place in Las Vegas. The fact they couldn't be bothered to check the details properly probably tells you all you need to know!

the result complete with Vitali cheesy grin photo was on BBC news 24 about 6am
