Spencer Fearon’s Hard Knocks Boxing Promotions have secured a six-fight TV deal with Premier Sports. The UK TV channel will begin their coverage of Fearon’s atmospheric shows by televising Hard Knock’s October 7th York Hall ‘This Is Hard Knocks’ bill, the full line up will be announced shortly.
‘The Spirit’ created Hard Knocks in order to provide boxing fans with as many fifty-fifty fights as possible, stressing that the company aims to bring quality pugilism to a younger generation by promoting raucous, well matched shows. They have lived up to their billing thus far and now hope to transfer that success to TV.
“How can I be denied when I bring everyone under one roof,” enthused Fearon during a conversation with Boxingscene. “I live this game and the game is living for me. Thanks to all my Hard Knocks supporters and Facebook crew. Premier Sports have proved they are a company with a passion for boxing and we are delighted to be joining forces with them.
“Hard Knocks’ shows in 2011 have produced an atmosphere unmatched in British boxing and we are ecstatic to get the platform to demonstrate to more people that the hype surrounding us is justified. We pledge to pack each of the six fight bills with evenly matched, exciting fights. With Hard Knocks every fight is a main event and the fans are the biggest winners.”
