'Big Bang’s’ title bid live on RTÉ

ARMCHAIR sports fans are in for a treat next Saturday after RTÉ announced yesterday that Willie ‘Big Bang’ Casey’s attempt to take Guillermo Rigondeaux’s WBA world super bantamweight crown will be broadcast live.

It means sports fans can sit back and take in almost 11 hours of action, including the England-Ireland Six Nations clash at the Aviva Stadium, soccer highlights from the Premier League and Casey’s fight against the double Olympic champion at Dublin’s Citywest.

The fight, which is being beamed live to the US and Caribbean, will also be broadcast on RTÉ Radio and via the website at rte.ie.
