Sky won't show it, but the BBC seem to show all Jones fights. If they do show it it'll be on the sunday after, possibly BBC2 at night.

BBC showed Woods, Tarver I and Johnson - but not Tarver II. Those other three were also shown at a time when the BBC was committed to showing professional boxing, and those times are gone. The best we can hope for is Sky - but they've not had a good record of showing Jones in the past, and they've got nothing down at the moment. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that it's not getting shown in the UK

I think the channels in the UK are seeing this Tarver vs RJJ III as a bit of a pantomine fight.

They're showing Corrales/Castillo II and Cotto/Torres Klitscho/Peter etc... because they are competitive proper boxing fights, but Tarver/RJJ III is just a U.S. publicity PPV money fight.

I'd watch it if it was on, but it doesn't get me particulary excited... I'm much happier that they've chosen the other bills.

Apparently Setanta have no plans to show it either and the BBC definitely won't show it so our best hope is if they put it on a pay per view show on sky box office at a later date, they showed Gatti/Ward 1 on the Lewis/Tyson pay per view and they've done it a few other times so that's our best bet i'd say, it's the curiosity factor that would make me watch it cos Tarver has beaten him twice imo and i'm just curious as to why Jones thinks he can beat him this time cos he's looked **** since Ruiz & that was a while ago now. If the fights good i'll just download it the next day but i'd still like the opportunity to see it live.
