Buy the Radio Times or see their site for when differetn sports are on. Obviously it is on the BBC channels as always. It will be on the site in the UK too for live streaming. You see more fights on there.

BBC, today it was on in the morning, but if you have interactive just press the red button and you can watch it when you want i believe.

Edit: There is a show on BBC 1 called Olympic Breakfast which is a morning show that runs from 6am to 11am and shows live coverage of different events. The boxing was on that show today and according to the TV listings it's on at that time tomorrow too.
Though there is also live coverage of the Olympics which switches from BBC 1 to BBC 2 tomorrow at 11am which is showing boxing too.

I think the best thing to do is just look at the TV listings and see what's on.

you can watch all the fights involving british guys on the bbc website, easy. Dont know how much boxing eurosport are showing but there is some, hopefully some of the other (non english) fights will get screened, we're not seeing **** on bbc.

Things are looking good for england though! 3 wins out of 3! Frankie who?

I think the boxing is on everyday from 6am till 9am and midday till 3ish. If you have digital then all you need to do is go onto the channel the olympics is shown on at the time, BBC1 or BBC2, and then just press the red button and then you'll be able to choose the sport you watch rather than just watching whatever is the BBC Sport of choice at the time. Either that or they will prob be shown live on bbc.co.uk

Team GB are doing well so far, Billy Joe Saunders and Bradley Saunders both look really impressive today. Looking forward to seeing how they get on in the next round on thursday I think it is.

You can't watch the fights on the BBC website if you're outside of GB (not in Denmark at least...) :(

Whaaaaaa!?

Those racist motherfu...It's to do with TV rights not race. Same with MOTD as foreign countries will have other stations who have the rights there. BBC can't be doing bootleg stuff.

Matches have been good but scoring has been down right awfulI agree. Bogus system but even within the system they have been ****ing up. There was some Chinese **** at 178lbs in prelims who got pasted three times ina round bu a Tunisian. They skanked the muzzy and gave him no points meaning the **** still had a 1-0 lead after 2 rounds. There was a heavy southpaw left in there too that rocked the ****. ****ed up ****. Under ten points must system I would say the **** lost the fight 39-37.
