    Very sad day for boxing. American fight fans will have to find another way to watch that fight, or watch it on UTUBE. Why is it being boycotted? Shields fight was shown on USTV, but not Klitschko Vs. Joshua. So many mismatches shown, not even good sparring sessions, yet Klitschko Vs. Joshua to be boycotted. I have checked everywhere and no USTV. Notice that HBO does not have it on their schedule, neither Showtime, not even ESPN! USTV has no logic..............but they have boycotted Klitschko fight before.....................just does not make sense..............

    Anyone have a solution?

    Wasn't this supposed to be picked up by Showtime?

    I think this is why so many American fans on here thought so many top fighters were only American some years back, because there was less exposure to fighters outside of America. Now fans are able to watch boxing in some way or other wherever fighters are from.
    Years ago it was probably missed to a degree how good fighters like Calzaghe, Maske, Erdei, Eubank, Benn, Ottke, Michalczewski (to name a few) were

    As far as I can see they are still deciding what network will show the fight in the USA. Some USA channel is going to have to show the fight of the century.

    If the owners of the forum are fine with people blatantly advocating illegal activity and opening themselves to adverse legal actions, it's on them. No skin off my back.

    Do you also get very upset when grown ups swear?

    I remember Joshua saying that Showtime "picked him up" in the states recently, but was there not a contract?

    Sky now offer their own streaming service for box office events to NON Sky customers.
    The only thing I'm not sure about is whether there is any territorial lock out for non UK IP addresses.
    You can watch on a device running their app or on the website.

    Expect to pay around $20.

    Edit : sorry guys :-(
    "This fight is only available to residents of either the UK or Republic of Ireland."

    They are negotiating. Joshua has a contract with Showtime and Kiltschko with HBO.

    It seems like it's an HBO vs Showtime thing. I did see an article of Espinoza from Showtime saying it's similar to Mayweather/Pac.
