Do UK people really stay up at 3am to watch American boxing?

[redmish]

Yeah, most weekends. To be fair it's the only time I get any peace at home.

Takes a really big fight to keep me up these days. More likely to wake up early

Old before my time.

same as m8....i use to religiously stay up and watch the era of lennox lewis and his dominat reign....started with my hero leonard's 2nd coming against hearns , lalonde.
I even use to get the trembles before the big fight during the staredown in the ring.

In Melbourne Australia we get the US fights at 11am Sunday morning and 1pm Sunday afternoon during daylight savings and get the British fights at either 3am or 5am Sunday mornings it's a big day when you have one in England and one in the states on the same day you end up pretty drunk and tired but it's a good day always look forward to it

Y’all must really love boxing! I’m curious what was the official view count for the Wilder vs Fury fight over in the UK?

More like 4am, and yes.... I do wake up to watch the big fights live

[Nash out]

Yes. If it's a bit of a nothing fight then no, I'll just check the result in the morning. On average I'd watch the main event and the fight before, but if the card is great I'd watch more. Average start time of main event is around 4.30. Usually go to bed around 5.30/6.00 and wake up around 1pm as don't work Sundays. I love watching boxing. The rest of the day - I'd watch and follow football (soccer) games and scores. Watch a film or some TV show episodes and play the guitar, eat a good meal and just chill out.

My dad had me up watching Tyson's fights when I was a kid. I carried on for all the big US fights.

Luckily I emigrated to Australia so now the UK fights are on a Sunday morning and the US fights are on a Sunday arvo. Perfect timing.

Mind you, me and my kids are up at least once a week watching soccer in the early hours. That's their equivalent of my childhood Iron Mike memories.

I'm in the States and I only watch big fights live. Others I just YT or catch the replay

4, 5, sometimes close to 6am for the West Coast fights. Not every weekend anymore for me, but yeah. This is why it kinda makes me laugh when folk use terms like casuals and so forth... sure you might not agree with everything guys from the UK got to say but you gotta be serious about this sport if you follow it from this side of the Atlantic.
