    Seems like the deal is definitely done, and Darke is officially gone from Sky and moving over to ESPN in the states.

    A shame that is it, I always thought he was the best of the british boxing commentators and was excellent on the football as well. I guess it will be Smith most weeks now, with Rawling filling in on occasion.
