No live screening for Civic boxing bill

Sunday's professional boxing show at Wolverhampton Civic Hall will NOT be screened live online as planned.

The six-bout daytime bill, including three title fights, was due to be screened on pay-per-view live on the website of Ricky Hatton's promotional company, www.hattonboxing.tv.

But technical problems mean the site must undergo essential maintenance on the servers supplying the live streams this weekend, so will not be able to broadcast the event as planned.

However, the television cameras will be back to film the next boxing show at the Civic in early September, following on from the success of the city's first online pay-per-view in March.

Therefore, the only way you can watch Sunday's action - which will see the vacant British Masters titles decided at welterweight, light welterweight and featherweight - will be to attend the show in person.

Tickets are still available for the event and can be purchased through the box office on 0870 320 7000 or promoter Paul 'PJ' Rowson on 07976 283 157.

Speaking of the March bill, which saw nine fights including a Black Country derby for the British Masters welterweight title and a one-round knockout for the Midlands light welterweight crown, DVD's of the show are now available from Hatton Promotions.
