Fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the stars of the future were left disappointed as Sky Sports suffered technical difficulties on Saturday night.

The broadcaster had to apologise for being unable to stream the opening two fights of the Anthony Joshua undercard from the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

That meant noone saw Rio Olympian Lawrence Okolie stop his opponent in the third round in the opening fight of the night.

And they also missed Joshua Buatsi’s third professional fight as he outpointed Saido Sall over six rounds.

Coverage was restored in time for customers to see Frank Buglioni successfully defend his British light-heavyweight title against Craig Richards via unanimous decision.

And the programming then switched to Sky Sports Box Office, with customers having to pay £20 to watch the rest of the card.

Joshua will defend his world heavyweight titles against Carlos Takam later this evening.
