A superb line up for this first instalment, Eddie Hearn, Darren Barker and Johnny Fisher joining Kugan Cassius will be a conversation not to miss”. Founded in 2010, IFL TV is widely regarded as the go-to destination for breaking boxing news and exclusive interviews with the sport’s biggest names, including high-profile stars such as Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk, Hearn, Frank Warren and many more. The channel, which covers every major boxing event across the globe, boasts a huge presence on social media with over 800,000 subscribers on YouTube and 36 million video views on average per month across its channels, while also reaching a combined following of over 540,000 across Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. In addition to its hugely popular video content, IFL TV also releases two podcasts on a weekly basis, including RAW: The Fight Within, hosted by Cassius, which has featured guests such as Amir Khan, Billy Joe Saunders, Nigel Benn, Roy Jones Jr, Ray Winstone, George Groves and Ebanie Bridges, along with Hearn and Barker, since its launch less than one year ago. Over the years, Hearn has transformed the landscape of the sport and established himself as a formidable force within the industry through his relentless work with the likes of Joshua, Canelo Alvarez, Katie Taylor, Gennadiy Golovkin, Chantelle Cameron and many more. In 2018, Hearn agreed a groundbreaking $1 billion deal with live streaming platform DAZN, and he has been responsible for staging some of the most memorable fight nights in the history of the sport all over the world, including in the UK, US and Middle East. Barker enjoyed a brilliant career and after claiming Commonwealth, British and European championships, he clinched the IBF world middleweight title in 2013, defeating Australian Daniel Geale in New Jersey on a split decision. Over the course of his professional career, Barker suffered defeat on only two occasions in 28 fights before announcing his retirement in 2014. He now works as a boxing analyst for DAZN. Fisher, otherwise known as the “Romford Bull”, has shown great potential in the early stages of his professional career, winning all nine of his fights to date, with eight of those victories secured via knockout. He already boasts one of the most passionate fanbases in British boxing who consistently pack out venues to cheer him on. A must-see for all boxing fans, IFL Live will feature passionate debate, expert analysis and behind-the-scenes stories from three men who are right in the heart of the action on a daily basis. With more special guests set to be announced in the coming weeks, this special event is not to be missed. IFL TV pre-sale tickets are available from 10am on Thursday June 29.  |
