Looks like Channel 5 will show future Tyson Fury bouts.

[*OG Wenger*]

Saturday's fight was on terrestrial television, and Fury's promoter Mick Hennessey believes his fighter's exposure will add to his appeal.

"We have a situation where we have options, but his next fight is going to be on Five," said Hennessy.

"I've noticed non-boxing people talking about this fight, talking about Tyson Fury. He's been getting recognised in the street by non-boxing people.

"If we have about five or six outings on terrestrial TV he's going to be a household name for sure."

That is great new JohnLocke...quality figures and hopefully a step in getting more boxing options back onto TV and away from paying for mucky PPV cards.

I heard before the fight that Channel 5 were saying anything over 1 million would be a bonus. Those numbers are unreal!

Boxing always does well on normal tv. Khan - Malignaggi did something like 700 thousand and that was on at 2am!

I bet this got them a few extra Khan - Judah PPV buys aswell.

All in all a good day for Channel 5/Primetime.
