Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?

Tomorrow from 9pm on ITV - Piers Morgan's Life Stories: Frank Bruno. In his first major interview for nearly a decade, former boxer Frank Bruno re-lives the dramatic highs and lows of his journey from troubled adolescent to world champion, followed by personal meltdown and mental illness. He reveals the trauma of his retirement, divorce and committal to a psychiatric hospital, and how he finally battled his way back to health and happiness.

Whilst ITV have let us down badly in terms of live boxing, they have shown some decent boxing content in recent months. We had The Fight Of Their Lives back in December telling the story of Benn and McClellan plus recently they ran a series of new shows to celebrate the 70th birthday of Ali.
I saw that, it was fairly interesting. I didn't know he actually does laugh like he does! I thought it was impressionists/comedians exaggerating it to a ridiculous level.

Update: The channel came on without a restart, crazy advice!
Sounds like they were spouting rubbish. It's pot luck if you get a CS rep. who knows what they are talking about. Even worse if you end up talking to India...
