The British and Commonwealth light-heavyweight title clash
between Tony Bellew and Danny McIntosh will be televised live on
Sky Sports.
Promoter Dave Coldwell did not have a TV deal in place when he
won the purse bids for the fight but has now agreed a partnership
with Matchroom Sports which will enable it to be screen on the
satellite platform.
"It's a dream come true to back on Sky Sports," said Bellew.
"April 14 is going to be a great night with a great atmosphere and
I can't wait to put on a big performance in front of my
people."
Coldwell added: "As promoters, we
strive to give the fans what they want and the fighters what they
deserve, both in terms of opportunity and exposure.
"This fight between Bellew and
McIntosh deserves the platform and coverage Sky Sports will
provide, as it is a contest everybody in the trade is looking
forward to."
