    Cheers mate. Ah the good old days of 18.5m people watching a fight! Nowadays we might get 18,500 watching Degale-Groves 2 on Boxnation...........

    Great read. I just had to put in the "f***ing right I'll hit him with the right hand" story for Benn, always a good one.

    The key point there? Terrestrial. The move to Sky killed boxing as a mainstream sport. I'm sick of people sucking its giant corporate **** when they ignored Froch over a petty dispute with his promoter.

    If Sky really wanted to grow the sport it wouldn't lock it away on a premium access channel.
