USA Tuesday Night Fights

USA Tuesday Night Fights

"USA Tuesday Night Fights" is a television boxing show. It aired from October 1, 1982 through August 25, 1998 on the USA Network; at one time it was the longest continually-running boxing show on television.

"USA Tuesday Night Fights" was hosted by Al Albert and former lightweight champion Sean O' Grady.

Notable fights

Few world title fights were presented in this show, one of the notable ones being when Vinny Pazienza, a former world Lightweight champion, moved up in weight and captured the WBA world Jr. Middleweight championship with an eleventh round knockout of Gilbert Dele. Pazienza would ultimately relinquish the title following a car accident the following year. Written off from boxing by doctors after the accident, Pazienza would return to the ring with a win over Luis Santana, a fight which also aired on "Tuesday Night Fights".

Other shows included Roberto Duran's one hundredth fight, the returns of both George Foreman and Larry Holmes, and a show staged inside a marine aircraft carrier.

Other world champions to fight on the show

Many other world champions fought in this show, including Hector Camacho, Wilfred Benitez, Jorge Castro and Roy Jones Jr. Julio César Chávez's eighth round knockout win over Joey Gamache on a pay-per-view event was re-casted on "USA Tuesday Night Fights".

Rebroadcasts

In June 2006, CSI Sports launched the "USA Tuesday Night Fights Knockouts" pay-per-view series, featuring replays of fights that were first broadcast on this show.
