Live boxing returns to BBC Sport primetime television with Boxxer deal

Boxxer reportedly houses some of the biggest talents in UK boxing, including Olympic and world champion Lauren Price. 

Led by Boxxer Promoter Ben Shalom, the boxing company staged an all-women's card headlined by Price and Natasha Jonas in March 2025. In recent years, the team has also promoted Amir Khan v Kell Brook, Liam Smith v Chris Eubank Jr, Claressa Shields v Savannah Marshall and Fabio Wardley v Frazer Clarke. 

Selected undercard fights, features and behind-the-scenes content will also be available across BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and app, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport social channels. 

BBC Sport Director Alex Kay-Jelski said: “Bringing professional boxing back to primetime BBC television, free-to-air, and to our extensive digital platforms is an exciting moment for us and for boxing fans. Boxing is a sport that we know deeply resonates with younger audiences and this deal with Boxxer enables us to showcase the next generation of British fighters – delivering top-tier national boxing moments to all audiences, wherever and however they want it.”. 

Shalom added: “Partnering with the BBC to deliver big-time British boxing on Saturday night TV is a historic moment. We’re proud to bring the most entertaining British fighters to the biggest possible audience. This huge platform will give our fights the exposure they deserve and help us take the sport to huge new audiences.”
