Real shame that this is going to be tucked away on Boxnation. Fury deserves a better stage than that. It's the sort of fight that could have garnered huge mainstream attention granted the right sort of promotional platform. Oh well.
Give it a rest. BoxNation have spent time and money helping to get Fury in this position. They deserve a return. This fight will generate massive interest across all platforms. There is already a huge buzz. The same people who would have bought SKY PPVs can subscribe to BoxNation.
No, but there are 24 hour websites and 24 hour social media. Big fights like this find a mainstream audience. SKY Sports news is only useful for hyping up below standard PPVs.
The WBA's Twitter states that it's Hennessy Sports and K2 who have reached agreement- I thought Tyson was officially with Queensbury now?

Fury signed a deal with BoxNation which give him a massive payday and a world title eliminator. They spent 18 months pushing him. Lots of work went on behind the scenes. At a time when Fury wasn't really going anywhere. The deal was that Fury would fight Klitschko on BoxNation should he beat Chisora.
So this must mean that K2 managed to hold onto the UK broadcasting rights in the agreement. Fantastic news if so. This fight is simply way too big to be hidden away on boxnation. BT would be an ok option, Sky would be very good (mainly due to the **** ton of promotion they'd be able to throw at it via SSN) but for it to be on ITV would be bloody great for the growth of the sport in this country.
It would be :rofl if UK broadcasting rights were the reason they couldn't agree a deal earlier. K2 thinking boxnation is too sh!t to host the event Come to think of it, UK broadcasting rights were the main reason Wlad Haye turned into a 3 year cluster****
