Sky I would imagine either Friday fight night or another Sat show.

Get the feeling that it will be Sky on a Friday, or Setanta (or somewhere else) for a Saturday. Have the feeling the Sky will not do Saturday boxing again.

I think Sky would show Sat boxing again.

Will be good to see you back in the ring let's hope you can get an early stoppage

Genuine Irish Heavyweight champ, he must be fighting an Irishman then

Given that they announced the fight before they mentioned an opponent I'd speculate that its a making time fight, rather than a title challenge- may well be a commonwealth defence, though. It wouldn't surprise me if they brought an African opponent over again.

Kevin McBride would make sense!

Just really the way the PR is worded. Frank has been vocal that he needs boxing to be on Saturday night and said (when he left for ITV/Setanta) the return to Saturday night boxing will be a great boost for him to deliver the big fights.

He was suggesting that Sky will not come out to play for Saturday Night boxing, and the lack of Saturday night dates will indicate this. Football First is a bigger ratings puller.

The last deal, was a one-off and I guess it was pretty cheap.

Sky will obviously continue to keep Saturday boxing if it is PPV.

I always thought sky never liked travelling over to Belfast for fights, apparently it costs sooo much logging all the equipment across the irish sea.

Sky went to Dublin for Rendell Munroe fight in December. Also Rogan success does favours for prizefighter.

Rogan has really made a name for himself and is looked at as a modern age Rocky story!! He's the toughest man I've ever seen in the flesh!! What him and Skelton went through was pure brutal and they both deserve huge plaudits for it!!

Should be a really entertaining bill this though..
