Is boxing still going to be shown on the BBC in 2005 or are the likes of Witter, Haye & Froch not going to be seen by the British public unless we go to the event itself.

I ask because i thought they had finished with boxing but i see that Haye is on BBC Friday night at 11.30pm

They are probably just seeing out the remaining fights on the contract...

It is a shame they are not more clear on their web sight about it the has never been any mention of the state of their boxing coverage.

I wonder why we dont see British promoters working with Eurosport anymore. It would be good to see Hennesey and Fight Accademy etc starting to work with them.

I think Derek Williams is looking to get his next promotion shown on Eurosport? I am sure I read that somewhere.

Yes it shows the state of the game when Derek Williams cannot get a contract with Sky, he is a regular worker there.

Notice the BBC website are know longer saying that they are showing Witter, this link below used to show Junior Witter's picture and the text used to mention Froch.

It will all finish when Haye's contract ends.
