    Boxing on UK TV / Sky

    Can anyone tell me the best programs and which channels are best for the latest boxing news and events? Or is there a fixtures list somewhere?

    Needs to be channels you can pick up in the UK or on Sky TV. Online is also OK but not looking to subscribe to anything.

    Sky Sports seems to have a regular news program on boxing but it's not all that.

    Would also be interested in any programming that featured past classic bouts or last matches...

    BoxNation is the channel you want, they show most of the big international fights, it's subscription based though, but well worth the money if you like your boxing.

    Sky tend to show the big domestic fights, they have a contract with Matchroom so Eddie Hearn's fighters are on there. Check out 'Ringside' on Thursday nights.

    TV listings for all live Boxing on Sky Sports, including European Super-Bantamweight, Commonwealth Featherweight, WBC Lightweight, IBF Welterweight Titles.

      Sky and Boxnation are the big two.

      Boxnation get a lot of the big fights from America (exclusive deal with Top Rank i believe), and Sky put on the biggest UK shows for the most part.

      Goodwin has a good youtube channel too

        boxnation is the way to go. I wouldn't bother with skysports as any big fight they get they put on PPV anyway.

              Sky offers domestic mis-matches from Matchroom. Boxnation has all of the world class fights.
