Looks like we are getting the fights in UK, which is brilliant.

 

For those outside of UK, ITV is free to air TV channel.

Got to laugh at the opening comments on Twitter.

What channel will Usyk-Huck be shown on?

Clearly I meant between ITV1 IT4 & ITV PPV 1f921.png

 

 

P.S I hope it's not ITV Box Office.

Re: Ali cup and cracking fights coming to ITV?

 

At the moment the only channels who have this fight scheduled are Inter TV Ukraine and Boets TV Russia. Turkish and Polish channels probably won't broadcast this, as well as German (!) ones.

 

 

 

Wow.

 

 

And nothing in the USA, either?

It's a pretty Europe-oriented tournament. I'm not surprised that they have problems with finding American broadcaster.

 

Usyk v Huck actually will be broadcasted in Germany, but only on the internet (Ranfighting).

The UK press release I saw seemed to suggest that the Smith - Skoglund fight was the first of the fights being shown. I hope that's incorrect and the Usyk - Huck fight gets aired. Given that this is a package rights deal it would seem strange if ITV couldn't find space for it across its numerous channels/online.

First round of Huck-Usyk was pretty much a borefest. They came a live a little at the end to try steal the round but couldn't for sure say a fighter won the round. If I had to pick one it would be Huck for at least trying to steal the round at the end.

Well, it went pretty much as I expected. Huck tried but was just outgunned and stopped late. Hope he retires now, he's done everything he could.

 

IMHO Huck was probably lucky to reign during times when Afolabi, Hernandez or Wlodarczyk were considered best cruiserweights. I'm not saying that he wasn't better then, but even in his prime Huck would be far behind Usyk, Briedis, Gassiev, Kudryashov ...
