          I tend to watch fights on my sky sports app anyway to be honest but DAZN isn’t launched in uk if that’s what your asking

            Only until and if Hearn announces AJ vs Ortiz for June 1st. But yes, great news for UK fans!

              Was recently criticising Sky for their appalling boxing content this year, but this is a great move by Sky, credit where it’s due.

                So does this mean the WBSS finally bent & is allowing mfers to shop the different rounds of the tournament basically? I know initially they wanted mfers to buy the whole thing from top to bottom in all divisions which was ******ed to me & was a big problem for them selling imo. Can't sell a whole tournament of 14 fights (or 21 this year) to big networks with nice budgets that show maybe 20-30 shows a year & have half of them or more be these WBSS cards with fighters on them they have no connection to.

                  Well effectively you may have too..

                  If like me you only want to watch boxing, Sky advised that ALL boxing would be on the Action and Arena channels - but they've started to schedule fights on the Main Event channel now (not part of my overly expensive package) - starting with the SSR Estrada bout this weekend, meaning I've got to take out another package just to watch 1 fight..

                  Rip off sky!

                    Nice one Sky! I was hoping someone would get these fights, esp the Inoue/Taylor double bill.
