The upcoming trio of stacked MTK Fight Night events will each take place 24 hours later - after the shows were moved to Wednesday evenings. The new dates for the upcoming behind-closed-doors shows at the LS-Live in Wakefield are August 12, August 26 and September 2, and will be broadcast live in the US on ESPN+ in association with Top Rank and worldwide on IFL TV.

I'm from Los Angeles and I gotta say that with the 8 hour difference from California and the U.K.. I really love these MTK shows on Saturday mornings.. I'm really looking forward to seeing Jono Carrol in action again. Ever since his fight with Tevin Farmer I became a huge fan. Good luck my brother!!

Agreed.

Its backfired on me though, pre lockdown I used to go to the gym every Saturday morning and often would forget about cards over the pond and be rushing home, stressing that I'm going to miss something big. Definitely happend for at least one Fury fight for me, before he became a megastar in the US.

I always wondered how are these cards financed. MTK has no UK broadcast deal, IFL TV is not serious. And ESPN probably doesn't pay much for low-level afternoon fights?

I know what you mean.. I discovered fighters like Zelfa Barrett, Larry Fitzgerald, Lawrence Okolie, Joy Joyce, Danny Dubois, Ted Cheeseman, Sam Eggington, Anthony Fowler.. on and on. Solid fighters that I would have never known if it wasn't for these types of shows. I think BT Sport also has a lot of shows like this too. So I totally get your point

MTK Global is comeback!

I love MTK Global boxing cards and now with the Golden Contract tournament is better. I hope in the future, they make another tournament with another Golden Contract. These tournament help the fighters and give them reason to enter it.

I wish more Saturday/Sunday afternoon cards were staged. "Bring back Grandstand & World of Sport"!
