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).

There's suggestions that the BBC's deal for radio coverage of tonight's boxing fell through during the week after the BBC Sport website published a story about the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia. If true, that is quite pathetic from the organisers - if you can't take the extra scrutiny and critisicm don't get involved in the events.
