ITV stopped showing Boxing like 10 years ago. I remember Khan used to fight on ITV when ITV showed Boxing and that's why he got HUGE. Remember Khan 'only' got a silver medal in the Olympics and fought the Cuban (Kindelan or something, great resume) on ITV as a rematch in their final Amateur bout which he won, it was HUGE. The reason why Khan is a household name here is because of ITV.
Khan did like 5 million viewers or more for fights against Martin Kristjansen and Gary St. Clair. Impressive for those kinds of fights. I remember those days.
