Not British but this show came to mind straight away. Funnily enough Oliver Mcall was on this show as well.

Saturday 18 December 1993

The Benn-Eubank rematch takes some beating. The whole country was talking about that fight.

Ali and Cooper back in '66 was a pretty big deal in England, I would reckon.

I remember watching it live on ABC's Wide World of Sports.

'Enery bled something awful in that 6th round.

The biggest is yet to come. . . When undefeated Anthony Joshua wins a version of the heavyweight title and then meets undefeated Tyson Fury in a unifier.

And yet there was nothing in the contract about Michael Nunn.
It was widely expected that the victor would fave him, but there was nothing concrete about it - much to Don King's annoyance.

Frock vs Groves II was a MASSIVE event, the biggest crowd attendance figures in the UK since the 2nd world war.

Calzaghe vs Kessler was also a big event with major meaning at the World level.
