Outraged Fans
Angry fans took to social media to express their frustration with the technical difficulties. One fan exclaimed, "Well that's not good, is it? Come on, sort this out!" Another criticized the situation, stating, "£22 and it doesn't even work, shambles." Many demanded refunds, calling the incident an "absolute joke" and urging the organizers to "sort it out now."
Power Outage Blamed
TNT Sports confirmed that the outage was caused by a power outage at the event's location in Saudi Arabia. The TV broadcast remained down for approximately 25 minutes before an advertisement for the main event was played.
Apology and Reassurance
Laura Woods, alongside former boxing champion Carl Frampton and ex-UFC star Dan Hardy, apologized for the technical difficulties. Woods addressed the viewers, saying, "A big apology from us guys out here in Riyadh. We had technical issues, so you lost pictures for a little while. That must have been frustrating, but the good news is we are back, and we think we know what it was all about so it won't happen again. And even better news is you haven't missed a minute of boxing, so don't worry about that."
Stream Back in Action
The stream eventually resumed in time for heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma's impressive first-round stoppage win over Istvan Bernath, ensuring that viewers did not miss out on any action.
