Staggering Viewing Numbers Reached As York Hall Show
Shines; Eubank & Williams Victorious
The historic York Hall show produced huge viewing figures as
Wasserman Boxing presented a night of live and free-to-air
boxing on Channel 5, Friday November 25.
With a reach of over 1.8 million, Harlem Eubank headlined
the show with a shutout performance as he took control of
proceedings in a decision win against Tom Farrell.
Liam Williams showed why he is 'The Machine' after bullying
Nizar Trimech over two rounds and stopping his opponent, on
a night with a peak audience of 940,000 viewers.
The average viewing figures sat at over 500,000, who would
have been entertained by Ricky Hatton protege and former
Team GB boxer Chloe Watson as she seized the opportunity to
perform on terrestrial television.
Now, with one more opportunity to smash the unbelievable
viewing figures above, ‘Judgement Night’ in the North-East
beckons and could well see the British Super Welterweight
Championship bout take even bigger numbers.
Darlington’s current champion, Troy Williamson (19-0-1,
14KOs), faces Sunderland’s former Olympian Josh Kelly
(12-1-1, 7 KOs) at the Utilita Arena, Newcastle on Friday
December 2, live on Channel 5, where the viewing figures are
set to reach well over a million once again!
"This is why we have always been so proud of our partnership
with Channel 5, it gives fans the opportunity to watch
fantastic sport," said Wasserman’s Head of Global Boxing,
Kalle Sauerland.
"It's proving to be the people's platform, and long may it
continue. Next up is the unmissable North East clash for the
British Welterweight belt, which will be another electric
live and free-to-air show on Channel 5."
