Usyk boxing on Saturday will have now radio coverage in the UK after the BBC failed to secure an eleventh hour deal. That means the UK public have the choice of three different broadcasters to pay £25 to for the privilege of watching (it's on Sky, TNT and DAZN), or nothing (legal). Quite the disappointment and doesn't feel right that something is PPV TV or nothing (at least TNT exclusive FA Cup matches will be on the radio and MOTD).

Not just down to the BBC - presumably Talksport don't feel the price tag is worth it either and don't blame either. Boxing has basically become a pensioners game in recent years with the same fighters just going round in circles taking easy fights, retiring then taking a pay day in Saudi Arabia, if they don't bottle it.
