Premier Sports to screen ‘Hard Knocks’ boxing events

October 4, 2011   ·   0 Comments

Premier Sports are to broadcast the first of six Spencer Fearon events from York Hall starting on Friday 7 October with ‘This is Hard Knocks’ live at 8pm.

Fans can tune into see the magnificent Mongolian Warrior Choi return to action against Bandung Patavikorngym after his British fight of the year contender against Jackson Asiku in the summer.

Living up to the Hard Knocks ‘Every fight is a Main Event’ mantra three other contests will be shown live on Premier Sports.

Southern Area champion Darren Hamilton faces Midland Area titlist Dave Ryan in a rematch with the winner in line for a British title shot. In addition, two prospects go head-to-head in too close-to-call match-ups as cruiserweight Mitchell Balker takes on Hari Miles and Irishman Simon O’Donnell meets the skilful Ty Mitchell.

Richard Webb from Premier Sports said, “We are thrilled to finally give Spencer and his team the platform Hard Knocks deserves. We have tracked the events for a while now and they really stand out and can’t be beaten in terms of atmosphere and competiveness. Spencer has been putting on 50-50 fights from the beginning and has tapped into fans craving for proper match ups. We are now delighted to be able to bring this to a wider audience.”

Spencer said, “I am delighted to have the opportunity to show more boxing fans our product on Premier Sports – a company that has proved its commitment to the sport over the last 12 months.

“Boxing by its nature cannot rely on one fight a night to guarantee value for money. That is why we lead the way in stacking our cards with fights where the only guaranteed winner is the fan.”

Premier Sports coverage of the ‘Hard Knocks’ event will be presented by Andy Kerr with Alex Steedman in the commentary box and the co-commentary debut of British boxing trainer, Adam Booth.
