    If Boxxer had a deal agreed, that couldn't be announced before 1 July, you'd think it would be done now?

    Also - Eubank JNR come out and said he has no relationship with Boxxer. Perhaps he just has the Sky deal that has been mentioned before

    I never really brought that end of contract as an announcement date, given both Matchroom and Queensberry announced their DAZN deals when they still had plenty of dates left with Sky and TNT.

    If Boxxer had a nailed down, guaranteed contract with somebody we’d either have heard officially, or really strong rumours of who it was by now.

    Seems like they either don’t have anything in place, or there’s still negotiations ongoing and things aren’t finalised yet. Given the notice Sky would’ve given them of not renewing, either of those scenarios aren’t really a good look as you’d expect them to have announced something by now.

    Yeaj if it was really good, I think we would know already.

    They've basically got Ben Whittaker and a couple others. I don't see why you would he in a hurry to give them a TV deal.

    I wanted to like Ben, but I think he is absolutely dreadful at his job
