With so much boxing taking place in Asia we realised the TV situation of a lot of fights can be a confusing issue, especially where channels perhaps don't have totally unique initials, as we see with CBC and TBS. With that in mind we have decided to try and clear up what we mean by TBS and talk about what they do in boxing.
So, who are Fuji TV?
Fuji TV are the Kansai channel for the FNN, Fuji News Network, and are one of the key channels for boxing in Japan with regular live and recorded broadcasts. They show a host of sports, including things like RIZIN, but are primarily a general purpose terrestrial channel covering the Kansai area, with a mixture of anime, dramas, sport and Variety shows.
Right, so what do they do in boxing?
Their boxing contest is pretty varied. On the whole they are known for carrying live domestic cards, with a number of notable names now signed to them. Those live cards are typically promoted under the "Fuji Boxing" banner, and will feature world title fights. Sadly they have frustrated fans recently by pushing certain fights to a delayed broadcast, where they have had a triple header and held a bout off live TV.
As well as their live content they also show the Diamond Glove cards, put on by Misako, on a tape delay basis as well as the Pheonix Battle cards from Ohashi, again on a delay basis.
They also show archive shows, typically archive Diamond Glove shows, on their sister channels.
Where can you get the channel?
The channel is only available in the Kanto region for Japanese viewers. Despite being limited to Kanto their Kansai affiliate, KTV or Kansai Telecasting Corporation, do tend to show much of their boxing content. It should also be noted that the channel is widely available on international streaming services.
What other channels are related to Fuji TV?
Fuji has a number of sister channels. They are Fuji TV One, Fuji TV Two, Fuji TV Next and Fuji BS. Boxing has been shown on a number of those, often showing live cards or archive cards, though they have also been known to show recent tape delay shows on the channels too.
Anything else?
At the moment Fuji TV boasts a very strong line up exclusive fighters, and have rights to Japanese fights involving Naoya Inoue, Kenshiro, Ryota Murata, Masayuki Ito, Takuma Inoue and Satoshi Shimizu. By any stretch that's a strong combination of fighters and it looks likely that they will be adding to that in the future as Ohashi gym's prospects begin to progress beyond domest level
