27 September 2011 | Posted in Broadcast, Boxing | By James Emmett
Beleaguered boxing organisation the World Series of Boxing (WSB), hit by Olympic cash-for-medals accusations last week, has announced the launch of its own dedicated YouTube channel, WSB TV.
The channel came about through a collaboration between WSB, a professional style boxing series set up last year by the International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA) in which fighters compete for city franchises and are eligible to compete in the Olympics, Google and Total Sports Asia.
“We are very pleased to announce the launch of the WSB TV channel on YouTube thanks to Google and TSA," said WSB chief operating officer Ivan Khodabakhsh. "We are very determined to bring the best content of WSB inaugural season and live matches of the upcoming second season to our fans.
"The WSB TV channel on YouTube will provide free on demand WSB matches to fans, whether at home, in the office or on the road. It is a great step for WSB, reaching to new boxing audiences around the world, beyond the 80 countries which showed the WSB’s first season matches live. This significant step will emphasize WSB’s true global brand."
Aside from live matches, YouTube users will also gain access to exclusive footage of all the franchises as well as highlights, interviews and other media content.
