Professional Boxing promoters are failing to consider the future of the sports fan base by signing exclusive TV deals with Subscription channels. The petition is to make sure boxing remains a popular sport for generations by making sure any British fighter performing at a highest level is seen buy the biggest audience possible.

In the broadcasting act of 1996 many sporting event were put into two categories. Category A features events such as The FIFA World Cup Finals, The Olympics, Rugby World Cup and Wimbledon Tennis Final, and guarantees that they will receive a live terrestrial television broadcast.
Category B features events such as Test Cricket matches, The Ryder Cup and Six Nations rugby. It guarantees that Secondary Coverage (Highlights, Delayed coverage) is protected and must be shown by a terrestrial broadcaster.

This petition is to make any world title fight (sanctioned by the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF) involving a British boxer become a category B Protected event. This would ensure the lasting popularity of one of countrys oldest past times, and allow all of Britain the ability to view world class boxing involving a British fighter.
