London, England, Friday 3rd November 2023: GBM Sports, the new promotional force in boxing, and national broadcaster talkSPORT today announced a multi-fight agreement that will see talkSPORT’s boxing YouTube channel live stream GBM Sports’ Championship boxing events.
The first event will be broadcast in early 2024 starting in Sheffield, followed by further regular shows in key cities around the UK where GBM Sports will be breaking new ground.
GBM Sports has seen a remarkable pace of growth since its inception in 2022 with its debut event at the Magna Centre in Rotherham. Five further sold-out shows followed. The last show in early October was the inaugural event to be held at the stunning brand new Canon Medical Arena – the new home of the Sheffield Sharks and Hatters basketball teams – and was GBM Sports’ biggest and most impressive event yet.
talkSPORT partnered with GBM Sports for the event and live-streamed an exciting night of action that saw Emma Dolan defend her Commonwealth Super-Flyweight title against Nicola Hopewell in a pulsating fight, plus GBM Sports’ roster of top prospects including Nohman Hussain, Naphtali Nembhard, Faraqat Ali and Joe Hayden all record wins.
New star signing, six-time National Champion, MyKyle Ahmed, jointly-managed with former Two-Time World Champion Billy Joe Saunders, was also announced on the night and will soon make his long awaited pro-debut on a GBM Sports show.
Following a hugely successful night and building upon that initial broadcast partnership, GBM Sports and talkSPORT have taken it a step further to consolidate a longer term deal.
I wish GBM sports the best of luck. They are entering a very sinister industry where the big fish truly eat the little fish. The more competition the better for boxers and ultimately, the better for us.
