    Def cant see channel 5 picking it up...
    We can only hope that something changes between now and the end of ITV's protracted contract....
    Think they will def have froch on next weeks show, but alas whose to say they will even mention if its going to be shown!!?
    Come on ITV .... ditch the cycling and move forward with the boxing!!?
    There literally is so much potential to be shown, why dont you ditch the programme's no-one is interested in!!?

    It's more than just a rumour. It has been everywhere including ITV saying that they can't justify the money boxing costs for what it brings in.

    Sky have always classed January-Aug as a season and then Sept-Dec as another season so ITV will be showing the full season

    They've not dropped the theme tune? It was one of the best on TV, let alone sports shows!!

    The very sound of it makes the hairs stand up on my neck. Brings back pictures of Nigel Benn and Michael Nunn. Not even sure if Nunn fought on ITV but I've put them together in my head and it makes for pleasant memories so I'm happy!
