This got no coverage from BoxNation on social media whatsoever suggesting the fight won't feature on the channel. Warren confirmed the broadcaster will be confirmed next week.
Have a feeling this is building towards BT Sport Box Office replacing BT Showcase on Freeview / Youview with Tyson Fury featuring in their first PPV event.

You could be onto something. I do wonder about the future of Box Nation given that:
1) The majority owner who was propping the channel up, Bill Ives, died last year. His estate now controls the channel but whether it has the same enthusiasm to keep the channel going is an unknown.

2) It is loss-making and its plans to set up sister companies in other countries have not come to fruition.
3) Its registered office is now the BT Sport Studio in the Olympic Park.
