Great to see big time boxing back on ITV, hopefully we will see alot more top sports on Free to Air channels.

I remember back in the early 90s ITV had some great boxing and the old English Division one football 'live'. (the good old days before pay channels)

What about those of us who are unfortunate enough to have UTV Ireland instead of ITV. do you know if it will be shown on it?

If UTV Ireland get the rights to it they will show it

I dont know Andrew, I'm the opposite to yourself, I cant get an adequate saorview signal so I dont have UTV Ireland, we rely on Saorsat for Irish tv.

We have it combined with Freesat, so I will have the fight on ITV/UTV HD

UTV Ireland is like a bad TV3. I miss the James Bonds/Colombos/Murder She Wrotes on a lazy Sunday. Avoid UTV IRL.
I wonder what level fights they'll have on it?

Wonderful news for Boxing to have it available to the masses across the UK & Ireland FTA and in HD too.

Anyone who hasn't seen Carl Frampton fight is in for a surprising treat.

Great news

Hopefully Channel 5 also keep the rights for the Tyson Fury fights, I would expect Fury for a World title fight soon
