Live Boxing Returns To Impact Network In July
Live televised boxing events are scheduled to return on the
Impact Network in mid-July as negotiations for fights in Las
Vegas, Detroit, Chicago, and Florida for the Bahamas, are
all underway as particular cities reopen up for business
amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
With social distancing guidelines still in effect, Impact
will stage these live boxing shows without fans in
attendance. The two-hour broadcast will feature relevant
contenders and undefeated prospects who will be in step-up
fights.
Impact senior management Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, Terry
Arnold, and Royal Jackson agree with their programming
partner, Steven Marcano, that it’s time to return to work.
“I’m very excited about the return of boxing programming to
Impact Network,” said Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, CEO, and
president of the Impact Network. “Our network is growing
immensely, and boxing will be a stable of our channel for
years to come. These young men are eager to get back in the
ring and we can’t wait to showcase their talent. In July
we’ll be broadcasting our next live boxing event on Impact.”
“We are seeing great success with our “Stars and Champions”
programming and we believe that momentum will continue forth
when we resume live boxing events to Impact in July,” said
Royal Jackson, Impact executive producer. “I’m excited about
what the future holds for boxing on the Impact Network.”
“We are ready to resume live boxing events and programming
on the Impact Network,” stated Steve Marcano of SMM Boxing,
whose company is responsible for Impact’s admittance into
the sport. “Right now, we are working closely with city
officials to bring boxing back in certain states as the
COVID-19 lockdown loosens up. If all goes as planned, we
will have our next show back on Impact in July.”
“Our next card is being planned for July with several
undefeated fighters set to make their Impact debut,” said
Rick Torres, head of business and legal affairs for SMM
Boxing. “Showcasing rising young stars in the sport is a
feature we plan on emphasizing as we march forward with
Impact.”
