Cyclone promotions and Sanigar events to co-promote at the new Ice Arena Wales in Cardiff. Haskins' first defence of his world title to be announced. Plus Craig Kennedy's first title fight and Andrew Selby in a big domestic clash. Josh Taylor also on the card.

Official press conference is this Thursday to announce the opponents, undercard and TV deal.

Good news. Hopefully on ITV

Hearns has long said that Wales us a very tough sell.

Someone had mentioned on here the other week that there was another promoter heading to 5 so that would make sense

Does that mean they get Frampton fights live ?

Would imagine so mate. Hopefully.

Great timing by the promoter.

Existing world champion in Haskins, good domestic product in Kennedy and Selby is a potential future superstar.

this is great news if the bills get shown on free to air TV .

I'd completely forgotten that Haskins is a world title holder

FFS, just realised I'm away that weekend so I won't be there after all

Morales,then talk of Yamanaka in Autumn, then the Hall vs Guerrero winner next year... Could be a sensational 12 months for the Playboy

Article unfortunately confirms that Frampton is not included in this deal, disappointing but expected I guess.

Fantastic that Channel 5 will still continue with boxing although a real shame they don't do it with a couple of promoters and keep Fat Micks shows on too. In fact it would be nice to have promoters working together to put on really good domestic undercards for free TV, as Mick could have done with some help on the undercard for Saturday.

That is unfortunate. Where do you think that leaves Frampton then? I know the guy from premier sports is looking to get involved with boxing again as he previously did with Setanta. Carl's fights will end up going to the highest bidder.

Still a good deal. Looking forward to following Josh Taylor's progression on 5. Some good exposure there for him.

Never seen Morales. Is he much good?

He's not exactly highly ranked on boxrec and no names on his resume really stand out except for Canchila who I think held a world title at some point? May be wrong there though.

What it says, Feampton fights aren't included in the deal, any dates which feature Frampton will be added on outside the deal. So channel 5 will show Frampton fights.
