WTF, thanks great news are you sure? thought it wuld be on pay

Probably WTSP Channel 10 not OZ 10 network

^^what's that?

WTSP Channel 10 is a yank station

Sounds more likely.

Hold the phone! I just checked the electronic TV guide and Channel 10 DOES have the Klitschko Thompson fight on! 6am, Sunday 13 July.

I have heard of Christmas in July, but I never believed it could happen! :P :P :P

damn thats amazing...that would have cost a bit, well done channel 10

i wonder whose coverage they will use? (which commentators etc)

Don't care who commentates (hope it's the colonel though). I hope this is more of things to come. What do you think would have prompted this? Breakfast and fights, might set myself up in the shed (so I can sneak in a beer)

I thought one of you lads was havin some fun but if its the real deal then that is amazing. Must be what 15 years since Tyson that they a free to air station has put boxing on.PLEASE be a good fight/unddercard and hope they get heaps of viewers.

Farken hell! I thoroughly enjoyed Yank evangelistic shite. The only day of the week I would crawl outta fart sack at that time of the morning.

I guess I'll have to put up with boxing

Thats Fantastic news !!!

We need more of it ! Why dont they start doing some local stuff as well !

Congrats Channel 10 !!

Hell Yes! Now to remember about this after a big Saturday night :(

I hope its on in Perth.

just have an elongated saturday night mate...thats what we used to have to do back in the UK, vegas cards start about 4am gst so we'd just have a good excuse to keep saturdays nights festivites going a little longer than usual.

If they show the fight im going to write a letter to them congratulating them on puting boxing back on TV free to air. I will add that it would be good if they put a weekly show on showcasing the world of boxing from here and overseas. If enough people write we can only hope the message will get through as Foxtel dont seem to give a stuff about showing decent boxing.

I cant get TEN`s HDTV channel . Unless its on the reg channel.

I just checked an online TV guide and it has boxing on the regular Channel 10 station at 4am on Sunday Morning. I had to see it for myself! This is the best thing on TV since Underbelly!!! I can't wait!

I agree with ben k and will also wirte a letter to Channel Ten showing my support. We all really need to get behind this!!!

great idea big fella. I'll be doing the same.

i just saw it in the tv guide too. i'm a little shocked to say the least. i just have this weird feeling that i'm going to wake up and find it was just a dream.

From the Sydney Morning Herald TV Guide, the entire program starts at 5am and finishes at 8am. I do not know when the main event starts and the prelims do not look familiar.

I doubt all the fights will be on the telecast. I do recognise a few of the names...

Zaurbeck Baysangarou sounds like somebody out of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
