How to watch Clarke v TKV on the BBC

On Saturday night, the BBC will return to primetime television to show boxing.

Since BBC Linear Sports’ professional boxing era began 20 years ago,

The British heavyweight title fight on Saturday, November 29, begins on BBC iPlayer at 18:00 and moves to BBC Two at 20:00 for the opening fight.

In a bid to become the British heavyweight champion, Frazer Clarke and Jeamie “TKV” Tshikeva will headline the Boxxer event at Derby’s Vaillant Live Arena.

Due to TKV’s injury during training, the fight was originally scheduled for October, but it had to be changed.

The final professional boxing competition on BBC One was Clinton Woods’ IBF light-heavyweight world title fight against Rico Haye in 2005 in Rotherham.

A number of fights have been broadcast on the BBC, including Lauren Price’s maiden world title fight on BBC Wales through streaming and the network there.

The youngest major promoter in the country, promoter Ben Shalom, founded Boxxer, a UK-based promotional business.

Shalom had promoted famous boxers like Chris Eubank Jr. and Adam Azim.

The boxing industry’s goal is to “bring inclusivity, innovation, and entertainment” to the sport.

Their goal is to introduce a new style of boxing to the next generation.

Boxxer’s new partnership with the BBC, which brings boxing to free-to-air TV, will debut on Saturday night.

Clarke and TKV will headline the occasion.

Clarke won bronze at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and had a distinguished amateur career, including winning at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and winning at the 2015 national championships.

In 2022, Clarke, who became known as “Big Fraze,” began drawing with Fabio Wardley and competed for the British title.

Tshikeva, better known as “TKV,” has an overall record of eight victories and two losses since turning professional, also in 2022.

TKV’s British title challenge against David Adeleye ended in controversy earlier in the year, which caused him a letdown.

Henry Cooper, Lennox Lewis, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and others who have held the British heavyweight belt have a long history.

In a ten-round bantamweight fight, Czech Fabiana Bytyqi will face Kent fighter Francesca Hennessy in the co-main event.

In her professional debut in 2023, Hennessy, the daughter of British promoter Mick Hennessy, has one stoppage on her record.

Hennessy stated on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, “I don’t believe she’s a walk in the park.”

“I genuinely believe I’m going to put on my best performance, and many people will be shocked,” he said.

Bytyqi has lost two matches and drawn two, but she has never lost in any of her 26 fights.

On Saturday, November 29, the Boxxer event will be stream live at 18:00 GMT before switching to BBC Two at 20:00 for the British heavyweight title fight.

Below is the running order, with 21:00 ringwalks for Clarke v. TKV planned.
