    A fight not involving a British fighter abroad being scheduled at an inconvenient time for UK Boxing Fans - we would all be seething with more rage if there was no jubilee to celebrate this weekend.

    No I’m saying there scheduling it an inconvenient time for Australians and English alike. If it was at 10:00 Australian time it would be in the afternoon for English people and 2 am for the Americans. But there’s is some sort of rule that practically all fights have to be made for American convenience.

    I attended the bout, it was regular UK time. Perhaps you’re thinking of Lewis - Bruno, which went on around midnight, or slightly later in Wales.
    Watt - O’Grady went on 3am’ish, to accommodate America.

    I was ringside for Lewis vs Ruddock and it was well after midnight. The ticket prices were way too high so there were not very many spectators.

    I just googled it, apparently ring walks are at 4am GMT. I might actually use that Ringwalks app that someone on here made, sets alerts to your phone for when the fight is about to start, not used it before, hope it works.
