I'd like to see more boxing on the channel before I subscribe, even if it's lots of smaller fights from the UK and Germany for example.

On my TV it comes up as "Sports" powered by Connect-TV. Boxnation showed a fight on this channel last year, prior to launching on Virgin. The below link will give you some more info:

Some big fights in that list.

I really want to see Matthysse v Olusegun. Matthysse is a massive puncher, real fun to watch. Olusegun has been waiting for a world title fight for a bout 5 years! Remember watching him a few times on SKY when Frank Maloney promoted him. This should be a classic.
