Live professional boxing returns to BBC primetime television on Saturday, October 25, when Frazer Clarke and Jeamie TKV fight for the British Heavyweight Title at the Vaillant Arena in Derby. The winner will claim the prestigious Lonsdale Belt, following in the footsteps of heavyweight greats such as Henry Cooper, Lennox Lewis, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
The bout headlines the debut event of a landmark new partnership between BBC Sport and BOXXER. All action will be available to watch live and free-to-air on BBC Two from 8-10pm and on BBC iPlayer.
Tokyo 2020 Olympic bronze medallist Frazer Clarke, from Burton-On-Trent, came agonisingly close to capturing the British crown in March 2024, battling to a thrilling draw with Fabio Wardley at The O2 in London, with the British, Commonwealth and WBO European titles all at stake.
Tottenham's Jeamie Tshikeva, known to fans as TKV, suffered disappointment earlier this year when his British title challenge against David Adeleye ended in controversy. Ahead on the scorecards and seemingly in control, he was denied by a contentious refereeing decision.
Both men are determined to leave nothing to chance this time as they look to write their names into the history books. On Saturday 29 November, watch fight night on BBC iPlayer from 6pm and BBC Two and iPlayer from 8pm. Rick Edwards will present, with Ronald McIntosh as lead commentator alongside boxing expert Steve Bunce, unified super-bantamweight champion Ellie Scotney and retired world champion George Groves. Follow live text commentary on the BBC Sport website and app from 7.30pm.
