The 2020 boxing media review BROADCASTS 2020 hasn’t been much fun, but it has been revealing. We began the year strong, with Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder squaring off for a second time in February and Fury turning in a career-best performance. It earned solid pay-per-view numbers in the US and saw BT Sport move into the PPV sphere in the UK as a legitimate operator and competitor to Sky Sports. Of course, a month later, everything changed. Lockdowns were announced worldwide in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and boxing, along with all other sports, was put on hold. Major fight cards were scrapped or postponed, including Daniel Dubois vs Joe Joyce, Canelo Alvarez’ next fight, Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Teofimo Lopez and a third Fury-Wilder fight. At the time, no one knew how things would pan out.
