Sorry mate not sure. Not been able to find a stream for it online. It's possible the fight, or highlights of the fight, will be broadcast on Channel 5 following the Haskins fight. I'm sure they've done that before.

Cheers Chad. I've set that Ken Buchanan show to record. I'm going to try and get an extension cable to reach round my livingroom so I get my free view for the undercard on Saturday. Don't get Spike on Virgin and I'm keen to see Josh Taylor again.

No worries mate I'm pretty sure I'll get the spike part of the show on demand the next day, better than nothing I suppose

The Ring Live show was a strange one. FOTV had the broadcast listed for last Friday, instead of this coming Friday. I stayed up to watch it only to find 2 middle aged American men talking crap on their webcams.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I pretty much record all things boxing on TV and noticed in recent months that boxing on Freeview was on the grow. Thought I'd share here for others to enjoy.

I did the same re FOTV.... what is that crap.... hardly great TV is it!!!
Though give FOTV its dues - they are slowly improving their telecast (when they show the fights).... they told play those over long UK adverts as much now and miss have the action. Although it is weird they advertise fights that will never be shown on FOTV or even UK TV (they just nick the same ads from ringtiv).

Did the FOTV show work this week? I set it for record on Sky and realise that it wasn't on the planner when I got back from a weekend break.... was it pulled again or did my Sky mess up?

It's not listed on Channel 4 for this week. Not sure what has happened
Update: Oh yes it is. See below.

Plenty of Muhammad Ali shows added to the B0xnati0n schedule, most are free to air on SKY. Will post the details later. Think there's a live tribute show on tonight from 7pm
