Fair play they picked the most stacked night of boxing in years to compete with
What a strange time to have their first live boxing in ages.

Very strange for an IBO trinket.
I thought BT or FW had some stake in it, does this not go head to head with BTs Birmingham show? Or would they advertise Fury Wilder on it.
Be interested who will be pundits etc, aren't most the previous BN crew with BT now.

So this competes directly with the Fowler/Cheeseman etc fight?
Madness!
That's an awesome card that I've been looking forward to for ages. In fact, if it clashed with the Fury Wilder card, I'd have to make a considered call on what one I recorded and which one I watched later. This one doesn't even nudge its way onto my weekend boxing schedule

The criminally underused Steadman and Barry Jones I don't think are on the books with anyone in a contracted basis.
I like Mike Costello and I do think his podcast with Bunce was a lockdown savour and one of the biggest and best things in terms of boxing promotion and awareness out there - but if you told me name the best two British commentators in the business - I wouldn't hesitate - Barry Jones as colour commentator and analyst - basically have him everywhere like ITV used to do in the 80s with Watt - and Steadman as the main anchor.... those two would be game changed!

Box-nation isn't available anymore in
Ireland anymore either via Premier Sports pack or for new sign ups.
Only way you could possibly have if is if you've been paying the monthly sub for past few years and signed up then.
But they have continued to pay for Irish EPG on Sky so assuming it will become available again if BN is returning.

Warren hasn't had an interest in BN for years. It's now part of Premiersports who have invested nothing into it. I imagine they've picked up this show for free butter only subscribers they must have now ( other than people who get it for free ) are the ones who forgot to cancel it 4 years ago.peter barlow wrote: ↑06 Oct 2021, 15:23Very strange for an IBO trinket.

Lillis - I liked. Be good if he could be Bunce's regular side kick for the BBC Podcast.

That’s a great idea, I spent some happy nights listening to those two waffle on for hours before a 4am main event from the states. As @stujones rightly says Steadman is a terrible loss to boxing broadcasting in this country. The guy is smooth as silk, a consummate professional and very knowledgeable.

Just flicked over and saw their first fight KO, Krasniqi absolutely pole axed Boesel, for the errrr interim wblah LH title. Wild celebrations looked like he was underdog …
All these fights on I’m not even sure what channel to watch at the minute
